(choose chapter or problem)

In recent years, physicists have learned to create metamaterials engineered materials not found in naturewith negative indices of refraction. Its not yet possible to form a lens from a material with a negative index of refraction, but researchers are optimistic. Suppose you had a planoconvex lens (flat on one side, a 15 cm radius of curvature on the other) that is made from a metamaterial with n = -1.25. If you place an object 12 cm from this lens, (a) what type of image will be formed and (b) where will the image be located?
