In the displacement method,a convex lens is placed between an object and a screen. If the magnifications in the two positions are $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the displacement of the lens between the two positions is $x$,then the focal length of the lens is:

  • A
    $\frac{x}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{x}{m_1 - m_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{x}{(m_1 + m_2)^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{x}{(m_1 - m_2)^2}$
