Assertion : Concave lens is used to correct myopia or short-sightedness.
Reason : A concave lens of suitable focal length diverges the parallel rays from the distant objects as if they are coming from the far point of the myopic eye. This helps the eye lens to form a clear image at the retina.

A

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

B

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
