$A$ thin lens of material having refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and focal length of $20 \ cm$ in air has two media of different refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.2$ and $\mu_2 = 2.5$ covering the upper and lower halves of the lens,respectively,as shown in the figure. If an object is placed on the principal axis,then its two images will be formed,one after refraction from the upper part and the other after refraction from the lower part. Considering the object to be at $\infty$,the separation between the two images formed would be ...... $cm$.

$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $f$ made of crown glass is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu_l$ $(\mu_l > \mu_c)$, where $\mu_c$ is the refractive index of the crown glass. The convex lens now acts as:
