Solution
a) Myopia or Nearsightedness
b) Possible reasons of defect
i. The curvature of the cornea and the eye lens increases. The muscles near the lens cannot relax so that the converging power of the lens remains large.
ii. The eyeball elongates so that the distance between the lens and the retina increases
c) correction of defect: this defect can be corrected using spectacles with concave lens. This lens diverges the incident rays and these diverged rays can be converged by the lens in the eye to form image on the retina.
