Answer #1

When the object is away from the eyes, the lens should produce image at near point . Since lens is away from the eyes at , the image will be at away from the eyes. Therefore, image distance and object distance is .

The power of lens is given by:

Therefore, lens power must be 5.1523 Dioptre for given situation.

2. Correcting vision: quantitative. Corrective lenses work because the lens bends light such that it, combined with the eye itself, light forms a clear image on the retina. Another way to think about this is that the corrective lens (glasses) form an image of the object at a location where the eye can see clearly without corrective lenses. For a nearsighted person viewing an object very far away (object at infinity), the lens corrective lens creates an image at the...

A farsighted eye is corrected by placing a converging lens in front of the eye.
