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). Assume that n_(1) = n_(3). Which of the following statements is not correct ?

Answer»

`f_(1) = f_(2)`.
`f_(3)` is INVERSELY proportional to `n_(3) - 1`.
If `R_(1) ` and `R_(2)` are unequal, the focal length would depend on the direction in which LIGHT travels through the lens.
`f_(1)` may be negative if `n_(1) gt n_(2)`.
