As we learnt in

Optical power of a mirror -

P= -frac{1}{f}

 

- wherein

f= focal length with sign and is in meters unit of power = diopter

 

 

 

This person wants to increase the farther distance from 400 cm to \infty. Hence he must use a lense who will form image of an object which is place at infinity to 400 cm.

Hence focal length of the lens = 400 cm.

It must be concave 

P = \frac{-1}{400}cm = \frac{-1}{4} D

P=-0.25 \:\: D

 


Option 1)

convex, + 2.25 diopter

This solution is incorrect.

Option 2)

concave, - 0.25 diopter

This solution is correct.

Option 3)

concave, - 0.2 diopter

This solution is incorrect.

Option 4)

convex, + 0.15 diopter

This solution is incorrect.
