Two point sources `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are 24 cm apart. What should a convex lens of focal length 9 cm be placed between them so that the images of both sources formed at the same place ?

In this case one of the image will be real and the other virtual. Let us assume that image of `S_1` is real and that of `S_2` is virtual
Applying `1/y+1/x=1/9`
For `S_1,1/y+1/x=1/9…..(1) S_2:1/y+1/(24-x)=1/9`……….(2)
Solving eqs. (1) and (2) we get x=6cm

A point source of light is placed inside water and a thin converging lens of focal length f is placed just outside the surface of water. The image of source is formed at a distance of 50 cm from the surface of water.
