The correct Answer is:
To find the near point of a hypermetropic eye using a lens of power +3D, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of power of a lens The power \( P \) of a lens is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \] where \( f \) is the focal length in meters. Given that the power of the lens is +3D, we can find the focal length. ### Step 2: Calculate the focal length Using the formula for power: \[ P = +3D \implies f = \frac{1}{P} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ meters} = \frac{100}{3} \text{ cm} \approx 33.33 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Understand normal vision Normal vision allows a person to see objects clearly at a distance of 25 cm. This means that for the hypermetropic eye, the lens must help focus light from objects at this distance. ### Step 4: Use the lens formula The lens formula is: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] where: - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens (33.33 cm), - \( v \) is the image distance (which we need to find), - \( u \) is the object distance (which is -25 cm, as per the sign convention). ### Step 5: Substitute values into the lens formula Substituting the known values into the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{\frac{100}{3}} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{-25} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{100} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{25} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( \frac{1}{v} \) Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{3}{100} - \frac{1}{25} \] To combine the fractions, convert \( \frac{1}{25} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 100: \[ \frac{1}{25} = \frac{4}{100} \] Thus: \[ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{3}{100} - \frac{4}{100} = -\frac{1}{100} \] ### Step 7: Find \( v \) Taking the reciprocal gives: \[ v = -100 \text{ cm} \] This indicates that the near point of the hypermetropic eye is at a distance of 100 cm. ### Conclusion The near point of the hypermetropic eye is 100 cm. ---
