A thin bi-convex lens made out of a material of refractive index `mu_(1)` is place in a medium of refractive index `mu_(2)`. A paraxial beam of light, parallel to the principal axis of the lens, is shown in the figure. Based on the ray diagram, we can conclude that

A

`mu_(1) gt mu_(2)`

B

`mu_(1)ltmu_(2)`

C

`mu_(1)=mu_(2)`

D

`mu_(1) lt mu_(2)`
