A converging lens of focal length 1 m corrects a myopic person's vision. Is this correct?
AYes — any lens works
BNo — myopia needs a concave (diverging) lens, not a converging one
CYes — converging lenses are stronger (option)
DOnly at night
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. No — myopia needs a concave (diverging) lens, not a converging one
1. Myopia shifts the image in front of the retina.
2. A diverging (concave) lens is needed to push the image back to the retina.
3. A converging lens would worsen myopia, not correct it.
