A thin lens of material having refractive index ${\mu}\, = \,1.5\,$ and focal length of $20\,\,cm$ in air has two mediums of different refractive indices ${\mu _1}\, = \,1.2\,$ and ${\mu _2}\, = \,2.5\,$ covering upper and lower halves of the lens, respectively as shown in figure. If an object is placed on the principal axis, then its two images will be formed one after refraction from upper part and other after refraction from lower part. Considering the object to be at $\infty ,$ the separation between two images formed would be......$cm$
