The least distance of vision of a longsighted person is 60 ~cm . By using a spectacle lens, this distance is reduced to 12 ~cm . The power of the lens is
Options
- A+5.0 D
- B+(20 / 3) D
- C-(10 / 3) D
- D+2.0 D
Correct answer
B. +(20 / 3) D
Step-by-step solution
Using, 1 f = 1 v - 1 u Here, v=-60 ~cm , u=-12 ~cm . gathered 1 f = 1 (-60) - 1 (-12) = -1 60 + 1 12 = 1 15 1 f = 1 15 f=15 ~cm gathered Power, P= 100 15 = 20 3 D
