A person with a myopic eye cannot see objects beyond `1.2 m` distinctly. What should be the type of corrective lens to restore proper vision ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f = `distance of far point of myopia eye `= -1.25 m`
`P = (1)/(-1.25) dioptre = -0.8 dioptre`. Negative sign is for concave lens.
