A person cannot see distinctly objects kept beyond 2 m. This defect can be corrected by using a lens of power
(a) + 0.5 D
(b) – 0.5 D
(c) + 0.2 D
(d) – 0.2 D
Ans. (b)
As the person has the eye defect, myopia, therefore, a concave lens has to be used whose focal length will be, f = -2 m.
Thus,
Power
P = 1/f
P = 1/-2
P = -0.5 D
Therefore option (B) is correct
