Q. 7 :- Make a diagram to show how hypermetropia is corrected. The near point of a hypermetropic eye is 1 m. What is the power of the lens required to correct this defect? Assume that the near point of the normal eye is 25 cm.
Answer:-
As we know that hypermetropia is corrected by using a convex lens.
Here, The near point of a hypermetropic eye is 1 m and the near point of the normal eye is 25 cm.
Therefor, v= − 1 metre = − 100 cm and u= −25 cm
As per lens formula :
