$A$ plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. The lenses are made of different materials with refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$,and $R$ is the radius of curvature of the curved surfaces. What is the focal length of the combination?

  • A
    $\frac{R}{n_1+n_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 R}{n_1-n_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{2(n_1-n_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{n_1-n_2}$
