The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option based on the principles of optics, particularly focusing on the concepts of power of lenses, far point, and near point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Option A:** - The statement is: "If the far point goes ahead, the power of the divergent lens should be reduced." - When the far point of a person’s vision shifts closer (moves ahead), it indicates that the person is becoming more myopic (nearsighted). - To correct this, a diverging lens (concave lens) is required. - The power of a lens (P) is given by the formula \( P = \frac{1}{f} \), where \( f \) is the focal length. - If the far point moves ahead, the focal length of the required lens increases (becomes less negative), leading to a decrease in power. - **Conclusion:** Option A is correct. 2. **Understanding Option B:** - The statement is: "If the near point goes ahead, the power of the convergent lens should be reduced." - If the near point shifts further away, it indicates that the person has difficulty seeing objects up close (hyperopia or farsightedness). - To correct this, a converging lens (convex lens) is required. - As the near point moves away, the focal length of the required lens decreases, which means the power of the lens must increase. - **Conclusion:** Option B is incorrect. 3. **Understanding Option C:** - The statement is: "If the far point is 1 meter away from the eye, a divergent lens should be used." - If the far point is at 1 meter, this indicates that the person can see objects clearly only up to 1 meter, which is a case of myopia. - A diverging lens is indeed required to correct this vision. - Since the far point is at 1 meter, the lens must have a negative focal length, confirming the use of a divergent lens. - **Conclusion:** Option C is correct. 4. **Understanding Option D:** - The statement is: "If the near point is 1 meter away from the eye, a divergent lens should be used." - If the near point is at 1 meter, this indicates that the person has difficulty seeing objects that are closer, which is a case of hyperopia. - To correct this, a converging lens (convex lens) is required, not a divergent lens. - **Conclusion:** Option D is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct options are **A and C**.
