Question: A meniscus lens is one that has one concave surface, and one convex surface. A positive meniscus lens is a converging lens. A negative meniscus

A meniscus lens is one that has one concave surface, and one convex
surface. A positive meniscus lens is a converging lens. A negative
meniscus lens is a diverging lens.
(a) Sketch a positive meniscus lens assuming light hits concave side
first. Indicate which sides are concave and convex and which are
R1 and R2 and whether R1 and R2 are positive or negative.
(b) Determine the condition on |R1R2| in order to produce a positive
meniscus lens, assuming a glass lens in air and light hits concave
side first.
 A meniscus lens is one that has one concave surface, and
