A biconvex lens made of material with refractive index `n_(2)`. The radii of curvatures of its left surface and right surface are `R_(1)` and `R_(2)`. The media on its left and right have refreactive indices `n_(1)` and `n_(3)` respectively. The first and second focal lengths of the lens are respectively `f_(1)` and `f_(2)`.
The ratio, `f_(1)//f_(2)`, of the two focal lengths is equal to

A

`n_(1)//n_(3)`

B

`(n_(1) - 1)//(n_(3) - 1)`

C

`(n_(1) + 1)//(n_(3) + 1)`

D

`(n_(2) -n_(3))//(n_(2) - n_(1))`
