The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the power of the lens a person must wear to achieve normal vision, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - The near point of vision (the closest distance at which the eye can see clearly) is given as \( D = 100 \, \text{cm} \). - The minimum distance of distinct vision (the standard near point for normal vision) is \( d = 25 \, \text{cm} \). 2. **Convert Distances to Appropriate Signs**: - For lens formula calculations, we use the sign convention: - Object distance \( u = -d = -25 \, \text{cm} \) (since the object is on the same side as the incoming light). - Image distance \( v = -D = -100 \, \text{cm} \) (since the image is formed on the same side as the object). 3. **Apply the Lens Formula**: - The lens formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-100} + \frac{1}{-25} \] 4. **Calculate the Right-Hand Side**: - Calculate \( \frac{1}{-100} + \frac{1}{-25} \): \[ \frac{1}{-100} + \frac{1}{-25} = -\frac{1}{100} - \frac{4}{100} = -\frac{5}{100} = -\frac{1}{20} \] 5. **Find the Focal Length**: - From the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = -\frac{1}{20} \implies f = -20 \, \text{cm} \] 6. **Convert Focal Length to Meters**: - Convert \( f \) to meters: \[ f = -20 \, \text{cm} = -0.2 \, \text{m} \] 7. **Calculate the Power of the Lens**: - The power \( P \) of a lens is given by: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \, \text{(in meters)} \] - Substituting the focal length: \[ P = \frac{1}{-0.2} = -5 \, \text{D} \] 8. **Interpret the Result**: - Since the power is negative, this indicates that the lens required is a concave lens, which is used for correcting myopia (nearsightedness). ### Final Answer The power of the lens the person must wear to achieve normal vision is \( -5 \, \text{D} \).
