A person suffering from hypermetropia (farsightedness) uses spectacles of convex lenses. Give reason

Explanation

(1) A person suffering from hypermetropia
can see distant objects clearly as the image of a distant object is formed on the retina, but cannot see nearly objects clearly as the image of a neraby object would be formed behind the retina instead of on the retina.
(2) A convex lens converges the rays of light passing through it . When spectacles of convex lenses of appropriate power are used , the rays of light coming from a nearby object are converged to proper extent before they are incident on the eye lens. Therefore after the converging action of the eye lens , the image of a nearby object is formed on the retina of the eye and hence the nearby object can be seen clearly.
