1) Two equations are given relating the refractive indices and thicknesses of different media in a lens. Using these equations and setting variables equal, an expression is derived for the focal length of the lens in terms of the refractive indices and thicknesses.
2) By comparing the expressions for focal length in and out of air, another expression is obtained relating the focal length out of air to the focal length in air in terms of the refractive indices.
