A person can see objects clearly when they lie between 40 cm and 400 cm from his eye. In order to increase the maximum distance of distant vision to infinity, the type of lens and power of correction lens required respectively are

  1. A Convex, 0.25 Dioptre
  2. B Concave, -0.25 Dioptre
  3. C Concave, -0.5 Dioptre
  4. D Convex, 0.5 Dioptre
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Concave, -0.25 Dioptre

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{u}=-\infty, \mathrm{v}=-400 \mathrm{~cm}\) By lens formula, \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-400}-\frac{1}{-\infty} \\ & \therefore \quad f=-400 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Power of lens is given by…
