Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}=\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\)

\(\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)\left(-\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\)

\(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}+\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\frac{1}{{f}_{{eq}}}=\frac{\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)-\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)}{{R}}\)

\(\frac{1}{f_{e q}}=\frac{\left(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\right)}{R}\)

\(\frac{{R}}{{f}_{{eq}}}=\left(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\right)\)
