To find the focal length of each half of an equiconvex lens cut into two equal halves, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Properties of the Lens
An equiconvex lens has two identical curved surfaces. The focal length (F) of the original lens is given as 15 cm.
### Step 2: Use the Lens Maker's Formula
The lens maker's formula for a lens is given by:
