Name the type of defect of vision a person is suffering if he uses convex lens in his spectacles for the correction of the vision . If the power of the lens is 2.59 find the focal length of the lens
Answers
Answer:
if he uses convex lens he is suffering from myopia
P=2.59D
1/f=2.59D
f=100/259
f=0.386m
f=38.6m
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.
