a person is unable to see the objects distinctly placed beyond 2m from his eyes name the defect of vision the person is suffering from and list two possible causes of it
Answers
Answer:
Myopia
Explanation:
The vision defect which the person will not be able to see far objects is called myopia
Answer:
this defect is myopia.
It can be defined is as follows.
The eye defect in which a person cannot see objects beyond near point or far objects but can see the near objects clearly is called Myopia.
The point of maximum distance at which the eye lens can form an image on the retina is called ' far point '
This defect can be corrected by using biconvex lens.
Given distance of far point (D) = 2m
Let f be the focal length of eye lens.
Image distance ( distance between eye lens and retina ) for our human eye is always constant and is about 2.5 cm.
This is due to the action of ciliary muscles.
applying lens formula, we get
f = -D
= -2 cm.
but , the power of a lens is reciprocal of focal length.
hence. Power = 1/f. ( f in meters )
= 1/-2
= - 0.5 dioptre.
hope this help you
