To solve the problem step by step, we will use the lens maker's formula and the lens formula to find the position of the image formed by the biconvex lens. ### Step 1: Determine the focal length of the lens using the lens maker's formula. The lens maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) ...
