(A) The lens maker's formula is given by $\frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right)$.For an equi-convex lens, $R_1 = R$ and $R_2 = -R$.Substituting these values, we get $\frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{-R} \right) = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{2}{R} \right)$.Thus, $f = \frac{R}{2(\mu - 1)}$.According to the problem, $f > R$.Therefore, $\frac{R}{2(\mu - 1)} > R$, which implies $\frac{1}{2(\mu - 1)} > 1$.This simplifies to $2(\mu - 1) So, $\mu Since the lens must be made of a material with a refractive index greater than $1$ (for it to act as a lens in air), the refractive index $\mu$ must be greater than $1$ but less than $1.5$.

The focal length of an equi-convex lens is greater than the radius of curvature of any of the surfaces. Then the refractive index of the material of the lens is
