A person using only convex lens positive power lens must be suffering from
Answers
The person using spectacles of convex lenses is suffering from
hypermetropia (farsightedness).
1. A person suffering from hypermetropja can see distant objects clearly as the image of a distant object is formed on the retina, but cannot see nearby objects clearly as the image of a nearby object would be formed behind the retina instead of on the retina.
2. A convex lens converges the rays of light passing through it.
3. When spectacles of convex lenses of appropriate power are used, the rays of light coming from a nearby object are converged to proper extent before they are incident on the eye lens.
Therefore, after the converging action of the eye lens, the image of a nearby object is formed on the retina of the eye and hence the nearby object can be seen clearly.
Hope it helps!
The person is suffering from HYPERMETROPIA.
Let's see an explaination for this :
- First of all, HYPERMETROPIA is also known as Far-Sightedness , because the patient doesn't experience any problems in seeing distant objects.
- This is due to reduction in net power of convergence of the eye.
- As a result, the light rays from nearby objects meet behind the retina and produce blurred images.
So, doctors prescribe CONVEX SPECTACLES (with positive power) so that:
- The eye (with spectacles) is able to converge the light rays at retina and produce sharp image.
