Solution
A thick lens has more power than a thin lens. This is because a thick lens has a larger surface curvature. It has a short focal length and that is why it deviates the rays of light at a greater extent.

For a lens with \[f = +12\,cm\], \[R_1 = +10\,cm\] and \[R_2 = -15\,cm\], the lens maker's formula \[\frac{1}{f}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)\] gives the refractive index of the glass as:
