Question
A person is unable to see objects distinctly placed within 50 cm from his eyes.
(a) Name the defect of vision the person is suffering from and list its two possible causes.
(b) Draw a ray diagram to show the defect in the above case.
(c) Mention the type of lens used by him for the correction of the defect and calculate its power. Assume that the near point for the normal eye is 25 cm.
(d) Draw a labeled diagram for the correction of the defect in the above case.
Solution
(a) The defect of the vision is hypermetropia
Hypermetropia is caused due to:
(i) reduction in the curvature of the lens
(ii) a decrease in the size of the eyeball
(b) Ray diagram:
(c) The corrective lens used for this defect is a convex lens.
Given that the near point of the eye is at 50 cm. The convex lens should form the image of the object placed at the distance 25 cm on the near point of the defective eye.
v = −50 cm
u = −25 cm
`1/"f" = 1/"v"-1/"u"`
⇒ `1/"f"=1/((-50))-1/((-25))=1/50`
Power,`"P"=100/50=+2"D"`
(d) Ray diagram showing the correction of the defect:
