a. The focal length of a Sunglass lens is theoretically infinite. It is because the radii of curvatures of the front and back surfaces are equal.
b. Lens $L_1: f_1$
Lens $L_2: f_2$
Lens $L _3: f _3$
onvex lens because concave lens can never form virtual and magnified image of an object and convex lens form such image only when the object is placed between the optical centre and principle focus of the convex lens.
