The near point and the far point of a child are at and , respectively. If the retina is located behind the eye-lens, determine the range of the power of the eye-lens.
Options
- A to
- B to
- C to
- D to
Correct answer
A. to
Step-by-step solution
Using the lens formula, the power of the eye-lens is given by , where and are in meters.
The image distance is fixed at the retina, so .
For the far point, the object distance is .
The minimum power of the eye-lens is:
P_{\text\min} = \dfrac{1}{0.02} - \dfrac{1}{-1.0} = 50 + 1 = +51 \text{ D}
For the near point, the object distance is .
The maximum power of the eye-lens is:
P_{\text\max} = \dfrac{1}{0.02} - \dfrac{1}{-0.1} = 50 + 10 = +60 \text{ D}
The range of the power of the eye-lens is to .
