Question
  1. A student suffering from myopia is not able to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m. List two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen. With the help of ray diagrams, explain.
  1. Why the student is unable to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes.
  2. The type of the corrective lens used to restore proper vision and how this defect is corrected by the use of this lens.
  1. If, in this case, the numerical value of the focal length of the corrective lens is 5 m, find the power of the lens as per the new Cartesian sign convention.
✓

Answer

Two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen are:
  1. Increase in curvature of the lens.
  2. Increase in length of the eyeball.
  1.  
  1. A myopic eye has its far point nearer than infinity. It forms the image of a distant object in front of its retina as shown in the figure given below. In the given case student's far point is 5 m. So, image of the object placed beyond 5 m from his eyes is formed in front of the retina and hence appears blurred. That is why the student is unable to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes.
  1. Since a concave lens has an ability to diverge incoming rays, it is used to correct this defect of vision. The image is allowed to form at the retina by using a concave lens of suitable power as shown in the given figure.
  1. Power of the required corrective lens $(\text{P})=\frac{1}{\text{f}\text{(in m)}}$
$\text{P}=-\frac{1}{5}$

$\text{P} = -0.2\text{D}$

Hence, the power of corrective lens is -0.2D.
