The correct Answer is:
To determine the lens required for a myopic person to see the moon clearly, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Myopia A myopic person, or someone with nearsightedness, can only see objects clearly within a certain range. In this case, the person can see objects clearly between 10 cm and 100 cm from their eyes. ### Step 2: Identify the Distance of the Moon The moon is located at a very large distance from the Earth, effectively considered to be at infinity for practical purposes. Therefore, we can denote the distance of the moon as being at infinity. ### Step 3: Determine the Image Formation For a myopic person, objects at infinity will not be focused on the retina. Instead, they will form an image in front of the retina. To correct this, we need a lens that can bring the image of the moon (which is at infinity) into the range that the person can see clearly (between 10 cm and 100 cm). ### Step 4: Use the Lens Formula The lens formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] Where: - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens, - \( v \) is the image distance, - \( u \) is the object distance. Since the moon is at infinity, we can take \( u = -\infty \) (the negative sign indicates that the object is on the same side as the incoming light). The image distance \( v \) should be within the clear vision range of the myopic person, which is between 10 cm and 100 cm. For our calculations, we can take \( v = -100 \, \text{cm} \) (the negative sign indicates that the image is formed on the same side as the object). ### Step 5: Calculate the Focal Length Substituting the values into the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-100} - \frac{1}{-\infty} \] Since \( \frac{1}{-\infty} = 0 \), the equation simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{f} = -\frac{1}{100} \] Thus, \[ f = -100 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 6: Identify the Type of Lens A negative focal length indicates that the lens is a concave lens. Therefore, the required lens to enable the myopic person to see the moon clearly is a concave lens with a focal length of -100 cm. ### Final Answer The myopic person will need a concave lens with a focal length of -100 cm to see the moon clearly. ---
