### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Write the Lens Maker's Formula**: The Lens Maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \] where \( f \) is the focal length of the lens, \( \mu \) is the refractive index of the lens material, and \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are the radii of curvature of the two surfaces of the lens. ...
