Problem

Two point light sources are positioned on different points of a convex lens’ optical axis. The images of these light sources formed by the lens coincide. It is known that one light source is at a distance a=\SI18cma=\SI{18}{cm} from the center of the lens. How far is the other light source distanced from this light source? The focal length of the lens is f=\SI9cmf=\SI{9}{cm}.
