A person wears glasses with a power of . Is the person farsighted or nearsighted, and what is the far point of the person without the glasses?
Options
- AFarsighted,
- BNearsighted,
- CNearsighted,
- DFarsighted,
Correct answer
B. Nearsighted,
Step-by-step solution
The power of the lens is given as .
Since the power is negative, the lens is concave. A concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia).
The focal length of the lens is given by .
For a nearsighted eye, the corrective lens forms a virtual image of an object at infinity at the person's far point.
Using the lens formula with , we get .
