$\mathrm{Q}_{1}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}} \times \mathrm{R}_{1}$
$\mathrm{Q}_{2}=\frac{\sum Q}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}} \times \mathrm{R}_{2}$
$\sigma_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}_{1}^{2}}=\frac{\sum Q}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}} \times \frac{\mathrm{R}_{1}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}_{1}^{2}} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}$
$\sigma_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}_{2}^{2}}=\frac{\sum Q}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}} \times \frac{\mathrm{R}_{2}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}_{2}^{2}} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}$
$\frac{\sigma_{1}}{\sigma_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}$
