Focal length of a plano-convex lens

[Geocentric]

# Diameter of a Plano-convex lens is 6 cm and the thickness at the center is 3 mm. If the speed of light in the material of the lens is 2 x 10^8 m/sec, what is the focal length of the lens?

Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

Can anyone tell me how to find radius of curvature from the diametre and thicknes of the lens? If the radius of curvature is found then the focal length can be calculated, isn't it?B)

if the lens is thin, you can use the lens maker's formula. if it is thick, there is something else... hmm:
