A person wears glasses of power - 2.5 D....

A person wears glasses of power `- 2.5 D`. Is the person short sighted or long sighted ? What is the far point of the person without glasses ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `P = - 2.5 D`
As `P` is negative, the person is short sighted
`f = (100)/(P) = (100)/(- 2.5) = - 40 cm`
An object at infinity from the corrective lens must produce the virtual image at the far point, i.e.,
From `(1)/(v) = (1)/(f) + (1)/(u) = (1)/(- 40) + (1)/(oo)`
`v = - 40 cm`
