### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the defect of vision**: - When the length of the eyeball increases, the distance from the eye lens to the retina also increases. This condition is known as **myopia** or **nearsightedness**. In myopia, distant objects appear blurred because the light rays converge before reaching the retina. 2. **Understanding the eye structure**: - Draw a simple diagram of the human eye. Label the key parts: the cornea, lens, retina, and the increased distance between the lens and retina. ...

A student sitting at the backbench in a class has difficulty in reading. What could be his defect of vision? Draw ray diagrams to illustrate the image formation of the blackboard when he is seated at the (i) back seat (ii) front seat. State two possible causes of this defect. Explain the method of correcting this defect with the help of a ray diagram.

Assertion: The image distance in the eye increases, when we increase the distance of an object from the eye. Reason: For normal eye, image distance in the eye is fixed, being equal to distance of retina from the eye lens. The focal length of the eye lens is changed on account of accommodation power of the eye.

Eye is a natural optical device by which human could see objects around him. It forms an inverted, real image on a light sensitive surface called retina. It works on the phenomenon of refraction of light through a natural convex lens. However, Sanjana was unable to see clearly the words written on the black board placed at a distance of approximately 3.5m from her. Her mother discussed the same with the doctor. Doctor explained her about this defect of vision and its correction. Identify the possible cause of the defect from the following:
