प्रश्न
Name the defect of vision which can be corrected by a converging lens. Show clearly by a ray diagram how the lens corrects the defect.
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.
