$A$ point-like object is placed at a distance of $1\, m$ in front of a convex lens of focal length $0.5\, m$. $A$ plane mirror is placed at a distance of $2\, m$ behind the lens. Find the position and nature of the final image formed by the system.

The figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index $1.50$) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. $A$ small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be $45.0 \; cm$. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated. The new distance is measured to be $30.0 \; cm$. What is the refractive index of the liquid?
