Problem

If an object is placed a distance pp from a thin glass lens (index of refraction ns)n_{s}), we can see its image on a screen that is placed a distance dd from the lens. Without altering any distances, we immerse this system into a liquid (index of refraction n)n). Under what conditions can we still observe the object's image on the screen, and how far from lens would this image be?
