near point of hypermetropic eye is 1m.what is power of lens required to correct this defect assume near point of eye is 25cm.

hey there! here is ur answer! Hope it helps!
Answer:Hypermetropia is a condition of the eye where the person is not able to see things clearly when nearer to the eye. The normal near point of the eye is 25 cm , i.e. for normal individuals to see clearly, an object must be at a distance of atleast 25 cm. For a hypermetropic eye with a near point of 1m (100 cm), to see an object placed at 25 cm, the virtual image needs to be for med at 100 cm. Hence applying the formula,
1/focal length (f)= 1/ object distance (u) + 1/ image distance (v)
Since the image formed is virtual a - (minus) sign is assigned
Hence it becomes,
1/f = 1/u -1/v
which in this situation is,
1/f = 1/25 -1/100
1/f = 4/100 - 1/100 = 3/100
Hence f = 100/3 = 33.3 cm
Diopteric power of the eye P = 100 / f = 100/ 33.3= 3 D
Hence the answer is 3D
