Problem

A diverging lens is made of material with refractive index 1.31.3 and has identical concave surfaces of radius 20 cm20\ \text{cm}. The lens is immersed in a transparent medium with refractive index 1.81.8. (1) What is the focal length of the lens now? (2) What is the minimum distance that an immersed object must be from the lens so that a real image is formed?
