Question
Write scientific reason.
Adults need bifocal lens spectacle.
Advertisements
Solution
- The ability of the ciliary muscles near the eye lens to change the focal length of the lens decreases with age.
- As a result, sometimes adults suffer from both nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Therefore, adults need bifocal lens spectacle.

Identify from the following diagram the three rays that are obeying the laws of refraction and may be used to draw the corresponding ray diagram.
(A) 1, 2 and 4
(B) 1, 3 and 5
(C) 2, 4 and 5
(D) 2, 3 and 4
