Solution
The person is suffering from an eye defect called myopia. In this defect, the image is formed in front of the retina. Hence, a concave lens is used to correct this defect of vision.
Object distance, u = infinity = ∞
Image distance, v = – 80 cm
Focal length = f
According to the lens formula,
`1/"v" - 1/"u" = 1/"f"`
`1/(-80) - 1/(-∞) = 1/"f"`
`1/(-80) = 1/"f"`
f = −80 cm = −0.80 m ...(concave lens)
∴ power of modified lens,
P = `1/"f"`
= `1/(-0.80 "m")`
= −1.25 D
A concave lens of power −1.25 D is required by the person to correct his defect.
