Lensmaker's Formula -

\frac{1}{f}= \left ( \frac{\mu _{2}}{\mu _{1}}-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{R_{1}}- \frac{1}{R_{2}}\right )
 

- wherein

\mu _{1}= refractive index of medium of object

\mu _{2}= refractive index of lens

R_{1}\, and \, R_{2} are radius of curvature of two surface

for lens 1

we have \frac{1}{f_{1}}=\left ( \mu _{1}-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{\infty }-\frac{1}{-R} \right )------(1)\\\\

for lens 2

\frac{1}{f_{2}}=\left ( \mu _{2}-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{\infty }-\frac{1}{-R} \right )------(2)\\\\

 

and f_{1}=2f_{2}------(3)

from (1),(2) and (3)

we get

\frac{1}{f_{1}}=\frac{1}{2f_{2}}\\\\\left ( \mu _{1}-1 \right )\left ( \frac{-1}{-R} \right )=\left ( \mu _{2}-1 \right )\frac{-1}{-R}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{\mu _{1}-1}{R}=\frac{\mu _{2}-1}{2R}\\\\\Rightarrow 2\mu _{1}-2=\mu _{2}-1\\\\\\2\mu _{1}-\mu _{2}=1
