The far point of a myopic person is 150 ...

The far point of a myopic person is `150 cm` in front of the eye. Calculate the focal length and power of a lens required to enable him to see distant objects clearly.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `x = 150 cm, f = ?, P = ?`
To see distant objects clearly,
`f = - x = - 150 cm = - 1.5 m`
`P = (100)/(P) = (100)/(-150) = - 0.67 D`
