A thin converging lens is used to form a real image of a candle on a screen. The distance between the candle and the screen is fixed at \(120\ \text{cm}\). When the lens is placed \(30\ \text{cm}\) from the candle, a sharp image is obtained on the screen. (a) Find the focal length of the lens. (b) Assuming the lens is made of glass with refractive index \(n = 1.5\) and both surfaces have the same magnitude of radius of curvature, determine the radius of curvature of each surface.
