The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to analyze the given information about the person's vision and the lens required to correct it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vision Range**: The person can see objects between 25 cm (0.25 m) and 10 m. This means: - The near point (minimum distance) is 25 cm. - The far point (maximum distance) is 10 m. 2. **Normal Vision Range**: A person with normal vision can see objects clearly from a distance of 25 cm (near point) to infinity (far point). In this case, the person cannot see objects beyond 10 m clearly. 3. **Determining the Correction Needed**: To correct the vision for distant objects, we need to bring the image of distant objects (at infinity) to the person's far point, which is 10 m. 4. **Using the Lens Formula**: The lens formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] Here, - \( v \) is the image distance (10 m, since we want to form the image at the far point). - \( u \) is the object distance (for distant objects, we can take \( u \) as infinity). Substituting these values into the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{\infty} \] Since \( \frac{1}{\infty} = 0 \), we have: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{10} \] Therefore, the focal length \( f \) is: \[ f = 10 \text{ m} \] 5. **Calculating the Power of the Lens**: The power \( P \) of a lens is given by: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \text{ (in meters)} \] Since \( f = 10 \text{ m} \), we convert it to diopters: \[ P = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 \text{ D} \] However, since the lens is required to correct for myopia (nearsightedness), the power will be negative: \[ P = -0.1 \text{ D} \] 6. **Conclusion**: The statement in the question claims that the vision can be corrected by using a lens of power -0.1 D. Since our calculations confirm that the required power of the lens is indeed -0.1 D, the statement is **true**. ### Final Answer: **True**

To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to analyze the given information about the person's vision and the lens required to correct it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vision Range**: The person can see objects between 25 cm (0.25 m) and 10 m.
