A myopic person has a far point of 1 m. The focal length of the corrective concave lens is:
A+100 cm
B-50 cm
C-100 cm
D-25 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. -100 cm
1. The corrective lens must form the image of infinity at the far point (1 m in front).
2. For lens formula with u = ∞, v = -100 cm, we get f = -100 cm.
3. Hence a concave lens of focal length -100 cm (power -1 D) is needed.
