conventions will not change the answer..

And a suggestion:

If you have not figured out a convention yet, I wud advice you to follow the absolute frame of reference convention.

you have to apply the lensmaker's formula twice.

once on the first surface.. then on the second surface...

First v that you calculate will be substraced by 2.5 mm.. to get the u for the second surface.

is the answer 35/8 cm ??????????

here is the solution....read it only if ans is correct..otherwise u will get confused..[3]
applying lens maker formula :
1.4/v -1/∞ =0.4/(2.5/2) becoz R =diameter/2=0.25/2
=>v=35/8 cm

i think we need to use the lensmaker's formula with the approximatin that if the beam is very thin then it converges!

or you could directly use the refraction formula μsinθ= constant.

and use the first principle to find the same!
