The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the power of the lens required for a man who can only see objects up to a distance of 1 meter, so that he can see objects at infinity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - The maximum distance at which the man can see clearly (near point) is \( d = 1 \, \text{m} \). - He wants to see objects at infinity, which means the object distance \( u = -\infty \) (the negative sign indicates that the object is on the same side as the incoming light). 2. **Determine the Image Distance:** - For the man to see an object at infinity, the image must be formed at his near point, which is \( v = -1 \, \text{m} \) (again, the negative sign indicates that the image is formed on the same side as the object). 3. **Use the Lens Formula:** - The lens formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] - Substitute the values of \( v \) and \( u \): \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-1} - \frac{1}{-\infty} \] 4. **Simplify the Equation:** - Since \( \frac{1}{-\infty} = 0 \), the equation simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{f} = -1 - 0 = -1 \] - Therefore, we find: \[ f = -1 \, \text{m} \] 5. **Calculate the Power of the Lens:** - The power \( P \) of a lens is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \quad \text{(in meters)} \] - Substitute \( f = -1 \, \text{m} \): \[ P = \frac{1}{-1} = -1 \, \text{D} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The power of the lens required to correct the man's eyesight so that he can see objects at infinity is \( -1 \, \text{D} \). ### Final Answer: The power of the lens required is \( -1 \, \text{D} \). ---
