The near point and the far point of a child are at 10 cm10 \text{ cm} and 100 cm100 \text{ cm}, respectively. If the retina is located 2.0 cm2.0 \text{ cm} behind the eye-lens, determine the range of the power of the eye-lens.

Options

  1. A+51 D+51 \text{ D} to +60 D+60 \text{ D}
  2. B+40 D+40 \text{ D} to +49 D+49 \text{ D}
  3. C+49 D+49 \text{ D} to +60 D+60 \text{ D}
  4. D+50 D+50 \text{ D} to +61 D+61 \text{ D}

Correct answer

A. +51 D+51 \text{ D} to +60 D+60 \text{ D}

Step-by-step solution

Using the lens formula, the power of the eye-lens is given by P=1f=1v−1uP = \dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u}, where vv and uu are in meters.

The image distance is fixed at the retina, so v=+2.0 cm=+0.02 mv = +2.0 \text{ cm} = +0.02 \text{ m}.

For the far point, the object distance is u=−100 cm=−1.0 mu = -100 \text{ cm} = -1.0 \text{ m}.

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 u=−10 cm=−0.1 mu = -10 \text{ cm} = -0.1 \text{ m}.

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 +51 D+51 \text{ D} to +60 D+60 \text{ D}.
