The near point of an eye is 56.0 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects at the distance of the healthy near point. What should be the focal length of this lens

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Near point = 56 cm .

near point of healthy person = 25 cm

person suffers from long sightedness

convex lens will be required .

object distance u  = 25 cm

image distance   v = 56 cm

both will be negative as both are in front of the lens.

lens formula

I/v - 1 / u = 1/f

- 1/56 +1/25 = 1/f

- .01785 + .04 = 1/f

1/f  = .02215

f = 45.15 cm .
