The near point of distinct vision is at 1 ~m for an elderly person. What power of lens is to be used to bring the near point to the minimum distance of distinct vision (25 ~cm ) ?
Options
- A2.5 D
- B3 D
- C3.5 D
- D4 D
Correct answer
B. 3 D
Step-by-step solution
Here, u=-25 ~cm v=-1 ~m =-100 ~cm 1 f = 1 v - 1 u = 1 -100 + 1 25 = 3 100 or f= 100 3 ~cm = 1 3 ~m Therefore, required power, P= 1 f( ~m ) = 1 1 / 3 P=3 D
