A person using spectacles with a focal length of is unable to see objects clearly beyond . This situation occurs
Options
- Aif the person's vision is normal
- Bin each of these cases
- Cif the person is nearsighted
- Dif the person is farsighted
Correct answer
A. if the person's vision is normal
Step-by-step solution
Using the lens formula:
Given the focal length of the spectacles and the maximum object distance :
The spectacles form the image of the object at at infinity. Since the person can see this image clearly but nothing beyond it, their far point must be exactly at infinity.
A far point at infinity is the characteristic of an eye with normal vision.
For a nearsighted (myopic) eye, the far point is at a finite distance, so the maximum visible distance with these spectacles would be less than .
For a farsighted (hypermetropic) eye, the far point is virtual, allowing the person to see objects beyond with these spectacles.
Therefore, this situation occurs if the person's vision is normal.
