उत्तर

Hypermetropia (long-sightedness) is a defect of vision that can be corrected by using converging lenses. The following ray diagram shows the correction of hypermetropia using a convex lens. 

A person with hypermetropia cannot see nearby objects clearly but can see distant objects normally. Fig. (a)  shows the near point of the hypermetropic eye, and fig. (b) shows the rays of light from a nearby object forming a blurred image, as the image is formed at a point behind the retina. To correct this defect, convex lenses are used in spectacles, because of which, as illustrated in fig. (c), the rays of light from the nearby object are converged to form a clear and sharp image of the object on the retina.

A student suffering from myopia is not able to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m. List two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen. With the help of ray diagrams, explain

(i) why the student is unable to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes.

(ii) the type  of the corrective lens used to restore proper vision and how this defect is corrected by the use of this lens.

(b) If, in this case, the numerical value of the focal length of the corrective lens is 5 m, find the power of the lens as per the new Cartesian sign convention
