A diverging lens has a focal length of 0.10 m. The power of this lens will be:
Options
+10.0D
+1.0D
−1.0D
−10.0D

Increase in the converging power of eye lens cause ‘hypermetropia'
Match the following:
| Column - I | Column - II | ||
| 1 | Retina | a | Path way of light |
| 2 | Pupil | b | Far point comes closer |
| 3 | Ciliary muscles | c | near point moves away |
| 4 | Myopia | d | Screen of the eye |
| 5 | Hypermetropia | e | Power of accommodation |
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: Myopia is due to the increase in the converging power of eye lens.
- Reason: Myopia can be corrected with the help of concave lens.
