A person cannot see object clearly that are closed that $2m$ and father than $4m$ . To correct the eye vision the person will use :

  1. Bifocal lenses of power $0.5D$ and $0.25D$

  2. Bifocal lenses of power $0.25 D$ and $3.5D$

  3. Bifocal lenses of power $0.5 D$ and $4.0 D$

  4. Bifocal lenses of power $4.0 D$ and $0.5 D$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,

The distance of the far point $(D) = 2m$
Let f be the focal length of the eye lens.
Image distance ( distance between eye lens and retina ) for our human eye is always constant and is about 
 $0.25m.$
This is due to the action of ciliary muscles. 
applying lens formula, we get 
$f = -D = -2 m.$
But, the power of a lens is reciprocal of focal length.
Hence. Power $=\dfrac{1}{f}.$ ( f in meters )
$\dfrac{1}{-2}=0.5$D
Similarly,
The distance of the far point $(D) = 4m$
Let f be the focal length of the eye lens.
Image distance ( distance between eye lens and retina ) for our human eye is always constant and is about 
 $0.25m.$
This is due to the action of ciliary muscles.
applying lens formula, we get 
$f = -D = -4 m.$
But, the power of a lens is reciprocal of focal length.
Hence. Power $=\dfrac{1}{f}.$ ( f in meters )
$\dfrac{1}{-4}=0.25$D
So he has to use by focal lenses

To remove myopia (short sightedness) a lens of power $- 0.66D$ is required. The distant point of the eye is approximately

  1. $100$ cm

  2. $151.5$ cm

  3. $50$ cm

  4. $25$ cm


Correct Option: C

Minimum and maximum distance should be for clear vision of healthy eye.

  1. 100 cm & 500 cm

  2. Infinite & 25 cm

  3. 25 cm & 100 cm

  4. 25 cm & infinite


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Minimum distance for clear vision of healthy eye is  $25 \ cm$ and maximum distance is infinite.

Diameter of a human eye lens is 2 millimetre. What will be the minimum distance between two points to resolve, which are situated at the distance of 50 m from the eye? The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom.

  1. 2.32 m

  2. 4.28 mm

  3. 1.25 cm

  4. 12.48 cm


Correct Option: B

State whether true or false:

A concave lens is used to correct short-sightedness in eye.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

A person who is short sighted can focus clearly on near objects but cannot focus on distant objects. This is because the eyeball is too long. Light from distant objects is focused at a point in front of the retina resulting in a blurred image.
This defect can be corrected by wearing a concave (diverging) spectacle lens. The rays of light from a near object are diverged before entering the eye so that the cornea and eye lens can direct the focal point onto the retina.
Hence, the statement is true.

A person cannot see the object beyond 200cm. The power of lens  correct the vision will be :

  1. +0.5 D

  2. +5D

  3. -0.5D

  4. -5D


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here, $u = \infty$ and $ v = -200\; cm$


$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{f} =- \dfrac{1}{200} + 0$

$\Rightarrow f =-2m$
$\Rightarrow  P (in \; D)= \dfrac{1}{f(in\; m)} =- 0.5 D$

Therefore, C is correct option.

The hyperopic eye can be corrected using --- lens.

  1. concave

  2. convex

  3. plano convex

  4. plano concave


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hyperopia or Far-sightedness is the condition where person can see the far objects clearly but cannot focus on near objects. This occurs since the image of nearby objects is formed behind retina. This corrected by using a convex lens which increases the power of the eye, and image is obtained on the retina.

Which type of lens is used to treat myopia:

  1. Concave lens

  2. Convex lens

  3. Cylindrical lens

  4. Bifocal lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Near sightedness, or myopia, is the most common refractive error of the eye. Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. So, to treat myopia the glasses will be preceded by a minus sign ().
Hence, to treat myopia concave lens should be used.

A person cannot see objects clearly beyond 50cm. The power of lens to correct the vision is

  1. +5D

  2. -2D

  3. -0.5D

  4. +2D


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A person cannot see beyond 50 cm. Hence, he should use a concave lens of 50 cm focal length.Hence $Power=\dfrac{-100}{50} =-2 D$

Long-sighted people who have lost their spectacles can still read a book by looking through a small (3-4 mm) hole in a sheet of paper :

  1. Because the fine hole produces an image of the letters at a longer distance

  2. Because in doing so the distance of the object is increased

  3. Because in doing so the focal length of the eye lens is effectively decreased

  4. Because in doing so the focal length of the eye lens is effectively increased


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Long-sighted people who have lost there spectacles can still read a book by looking through a small (3-4 mm) hole in a sheet of paper because by doing so due to the diffraction at the hole the focal length of the eye lens is effectively decreased. Hence correct option is C.

A man cannot see clearly the objects beyond a distance of 20 cm from his eyes. To see distant objects clearly the kind of lenses and its focal length must be 

  1. 100 cm convex

  2. 100 cm concave

  3. 20 cm convex

  4. 20 cm concave


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$u= +20cm$

$v= \infty $

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{\infty }-\dfrac{1}{+20}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$f=-20\ cm$

The power of a lens used to remove the myopic defect of an eye is 0.66 D. The far point for this eye is (nearly) :

  1. 25 cm

  2. 150 cm

  3. 100 cm

  4. 75 cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As $p= \dfrac{1}{f}$


So, $f= \dfrac{1}{p}$

$\Longrightarrow$  $f= \dfrac{100}{0.66}cm$

$\Longrightarrow$ $f= 151.51cm$

$\Longrightarrow$ $f\simeq 150cm$

A myopic person can not see objects lying beyond 2m. The focal length and power of the lens required to remove this defect will be 

  1. 1m and 0.5D

  2. -2m and -0.5D

  3. 0.5m and 0.5D

  4. -0.5, and 0.5D


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$u=+2m$

$v= \infty $

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{\infty }-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$f= -2m$

$P= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$= \dfrac{1}{-2}$

$= -0.5 D$

A long sighted person has a least distance of distinct vision of 50 cm. He wants to reduce it to 25 cm. He should use a :

  1. Concave lens of focal length 50 cm

  2. Convex of focal length 25 cm

  3. Convex lens of focal length 50 cm

  4. Concave lens of focal length 25 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given, $u= \infty $


Image distance, $v= 50cm$

From lens formula, $\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{\infty }= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$f= +50\ cm$

He should use a convex lens of focal length 50 cm.

A person can see clearly objects lying between 25 cm and 2 m from his eye. His vision can be corrected by using spectacles of power:

  1. +0.25 D

  2. +0.5 D

  3. -0.25 D

  4. -0.5 D


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Here, $u= 2m$
$v= \infty $

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{\infty}-\dfrac{1}{2}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

           $f= -2m$

Now, $P= \dfrac{1}{f}$

              $= \dfrac{1}{-2}D$

              $= -0.5\ D$

The power of lens, a short sighted person uses is 2 dioptre. The maximum distance of an object which he can see without spectacles is 

  1. 25cm

  2. 50cm

  3. 100cm

  4. 10cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$f= \dfrac{1}{p}$

$= \dfrac{100}{2}cm$

$= 50\ cm$

So he can see upto a distance of 50 cm.

A person wears glasses of power 2D. The defect of the eye and the far point of the person without the glasses will be 

  1. Nearsighted, 50 cm

  2. Farsighted, 50cm

  4. Astigmatism, 50 m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$f= \dfrac{1}{p}$

  $=\dfrac{100}{2}cm$

  $=50\ cm$

The defect of eye will be farsighted.

The far point of a myopic eye is 250 cm. The correcting lens should be a

  1. diverging lens of focal length 250 cm

  2. converging lens of focal length 250 cm

  3. diverging lens of focal length 125 cm

  4. converging lens of focal length 125 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$u = -\infty $ 

$ v = -250 cm$

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$(-\dfrac{1}{\infty}-\dfrac{1}{250})= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$f= -250cm$

The correcting lens of focal length $250 cm$.

An old person is able to see an object nearest to 1 m.What should be the power of lens required so that he can see an object placed at nearest distance of distinct vision?

  1. 3D

  2. 4D

  3. 1/2D

  4. 1/4D


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hypermetropia is a condition of the eye where the person is not able to see things clearly when nearer to the eye.

The normal near point of the eye is \[u=25\text{ }cm\]

Focal length, $f$

Image formed at distance, $v=100\,cm$

$ \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u} $

$ \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{25}-\dfrac{1}{100}=\dfrac{3}{100} $

$ f=33.33\,cm=0.33\,m $

Power, $P=\dfrac{1}{f}=\,\dfrac{1}{0.333}=3D$

Hence, Power of lens is $3D$

A far-sighted person cannot focus distinctly objects closer than 120 cm. The lens that will permit him to read from a distance of 40 cm will have a focal length:

    • 30 cm
    • 30 cm
    • 60 cm
    • 60 cm

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,

Near point, $v=-120\,cm$

Reading Distance, $u=-40\,cm$

From lens formula,

  $ \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{-120}-\dfrac{1}{-40}=\dfrac{1}{60} $

 $ f=+60\,cm $

Focal length of lens $f=+60\,cm$ 

Which part of eye can change the curvature of eye-lens and make it thin or thick according to the need of eye?

  1. Iris

  2. Pupil

  3. Cornea

  4. Ciliary muscles


Correct Option: A

For a normal eye, The cornea of eye provides a converging power of $40 \,D$ and the least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is $20 \,D$. Using this information, the distance between the retina and the cornea eye lens can be estimated to be.

  1. $1.5 \,cm$

  2. $5 \,cm$

  3. $2.5 \,cm$

  4. $1.67 \,cm$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Power of Cornea, $P _1=40 D$
and power of the eye lens,  $P _2 =20D$
${ P } _{ eff }= P _1+P2$
$\Rightarrow P _{eff}=40D+20D=60D$
So, $f=\dfrac{100}{P _{ eff }}=\dfrac{100}{60}=1.67cm$
Hence, the correct option is $(D)$

  3. $\dfrac{200}{3}cm$

  4. $25cm$


Correct Option: C

A farsighted woman breaks her current eyeglasses and is using an old pair whose refractive power is 1.660 diopters. Since these eyeglasses do not completely correct her vision, she must hold a newspaper 42.00 cm from her eyes in order to read it. She wears the eyeglasses 2.00 cm from her eyes. How far is her near point from her eyes?

  1. 75 cm

  2. 125 cm

  3. 225 cm

  4. 121.05 cm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The refractive power of the lens is $1.660$ dipters. So the focal length of the lens is $f=\dfrac{1}{1.660}=0.6024\,m=60.24\,cm$

The distance between the newpaper and her eyes is $42.00\,cm$

The distance between her eyes and glasses is $2.00\,cm$

So, the distance between the lglasses and newspaper is $(42.00-2.00)\,cm=40.00\,cm.$ That is, $d _0=40.00\,cm$

The distance $(d _i)$ between the glasses and the virtual image formed by the lens given by,

$d _i=\dfrac{fd _0}{d _0-f}=\dfrac{60.24-40.00}{40.00-60.24}=-119.05\,cm$

This relation is obtained from thin lens equation and the negative sign implies the image is virtual.

This position is her near point.

So the near point from her eyes is, $119.05\,cm+2.00\,cm=121.05\,cm$

Correct Option: A

Which of the following lenses of appropriate focal length is used to correct shortsightedness ?

  1. Concave

  2. Convex

  3. Both A & B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A convex lens of appropriate focal length is used to correct farsightedness.
Farsightedness is the inability to see nearby objects clearly due to the formation of image by convergence of rays at a point behind the retina. A convex or converging lens with the correct focal length allows the rays to converge at a point on the retina. The convex lens first converge the rays before it reaches the eye and thus, reducing the image distance. The eye-lens will now be able to converge the refracted rays ton the retina.

A person who can see near objects clearly but cannot see clearly the distant objects is called hyperopia

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Short sighted is also known as myopia, in which person cannot see distant objects clearly but able to see the near object clearly,  this also leads to blurred distance vision and is a very common problem which can be corrected by glasses or contact lenses.

A person who can see distant objects clearly but cannot see near objects clearly is said to be myopia

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Long slighted, also know as hyperopia person ability to see objects close to them, these Vision problems are also referred as refractive errors.

In this, a person usually can see a distant object clearly but nearby objects will be out of focus.

Fill in the blacks with the correct words to make true statements:

Near sightendness and far sightedness happen when light is not focussed on the ...............

  1. retina

  2. cornea

  3. pupil

  4. lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nearsightedness results in blurred vision when the visual image is focused in front of the retina, rather than directly on it.


Farsightedness is the result of the visual image being focused behind the retina rather than directly on it.

Aperture of the human eye is $2 mm$. Assuming the mean wavelength of light to be $5000 \mathring{A}$ the angular resolution limit of the eye is:

  1. $2 min$

  2. $1 min$

  3. $0.5 min$

  4. $1.5 min$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Answer is B.
The angular resolution limit of eye = $\displaystyle = \frac{1.22\lambda}{a}$
$\displaystyle \frac{1.22 \times 5 \times 10^{-7}}{2 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\displaystyle \frac{1.22 \times 5 \times 10^{-7}}{2 \times 10^{-3}} \times \frac{180}{\pi} \times 60$ minutes
= 1 minute.
Hence, the angular resolution limit of the eye is $1 minute$.

A person can see clearly up to 3 metres what should be the power of the lens in his spectacles so that he could see clearly up to 12 metres.

  1. 0.25 D

  2. -0.25 D

  3. 0.5 D

    • 0.75 D

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Answer is B.

The lens equation is given as $\displaystyle \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}$
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1200} + \frac{1}{-300} - \frac{1}{f}$ (u and v are in cm) 

The negative sign is due negative value of the image distance of the concave lens.
$f = - 400\ cm$
Power $=\displaystyle \frac{100}{f}$ in cm.
So, $\displaystyle \frac{100}{-400} = - 0.25 D$.
Hence, the power of the lens in his spectacles is -0.25D.

The near point of a hypermetropic eye is 1 m. What is the power of the lens required to correct this defect?

    • 1.0D
  1. -1.0D

  2. +3.0D

  3. -3.0D


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Answer:-$ C option

In the problem, it is given that the near point of defective eye is 1 m and that of a normal eye is 25 cm. Hence $u = -25$ cm. The lens used forms its virtual image at near point of hypermetropic eye i.e., $v = - 1 m = -100$ cm. 

Using lens formula, we have :-

$\dfrac { 1 }{ v } -\dfrac { 1 }{ u } =\dfrac { 1 }{ f } \\ \dfrac { 1 }{ -100 } -\dfrac { 1 }{ -25 } =\dfrac { 1 }{ f } \\ f=\dfrac { 100 }{ 3 } =0.33\quad m\\ power=\dfrac { 1 }{ f(in\quad metres) } =+3.0\quad D$

For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distinct vision is about $25\ cm$ in front of the eye. The cornea of the eye provides a converging power of about $40$ dioptres, and the least converging power of the eye - lens behind the cornea is about $20$ dioptres. From this rough data estimate the range of accommodation (i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens) of a normal eye.

  1. $10$ to $14\ D$

  2. $20$ to $24\ D$

  3. $28$ to $32\ D$

  4. $14$ to $18\ D$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To see object at infinity, eye uses its least converging power.

Power of eye lens, $P=40+20=60D$
Power of eye lens is $1/f\Rightarrow f=5/3 cm$
To focus on object at the near point, object distance $u=-d=-25$ cm
Focal length of eye lens is distance between the cornea and the retina.
Image distance, $v=5/3\ cm$
$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f _1}\Rightarrow f _1=16/25cm^{-1}$
Power is $100/f _1=64D$
power of eye lens is $64-40=24D$.

A person cannot see the objects clearly placed at distance more than 40 cm. He is advised to use lens of power:

  1. -2.5D

  2. +2.5D

  3. -6.25D

  4. +1.5D


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

That lens should be given to the person which forms the image of an object at infinity at distance 40 cm in front of the eye.


Hence, $u=-\infty$ and $v=-40cm$

Now,

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{-1}{40}-\dfrac{1}{-\infty}$

$\implies f=-40cm$

$P=\dfrac{100}{f(cm)}=\dfrac{-100}{40}=$

$\implies P=-2.5D$

Answer-(A).

A near sighted person cannot see distinctly beyond $50   cm$ from his eye. The power in diopter of spectacle lenses which will enable him to see distant objects clearly is:

  1. +50 D

  2. -50 D

  3. +2 D

  4. -2 D


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When a person cannot see far situated object we assume object distance to infinity.

Then image distance be v = -50cm

$u=\infty \\ v=-50cm$

then,

$\dfrac { 1 }{ f } =\dfrac { 1 }{ v } -\dfrac { 1 }{ u } \\ \dfrac { 1 }{ f } =-\dfrac { 1 }{ 50 } \\ f=-50cm=-0.5m$    (concave lens)

$power=\dfrac { 1 }{ f } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 0.5 } =-2D$

Option B is correct.

A person can see clearly objects between 15 and 100 cm from his eye. The range of his vision if he wears close fitting spectacles having a power of 0.8 diopter is :

  1.  5 to 500 cm

  2.  12 to 250 cm

  3.  17 to 500 cm

  4.  17 to 250 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given, $v= \infty $

Focal length, $f= \dfrac{1}{p}$

$= \dfrac{100}{0.8}$

$= 125 cm$

To see the objects before 15 cm 


$v= +15\ ,\ u=?$

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{15}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{125}$

$u= 17.04\ cm$

To see the object far away from 100 cm

$u= 100cm,\ v= ?$

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{100}= \dfrac{1}{125}$

$v= \ 500cm$

A person can see clearly object only when they lie between 50 cm and 400 cm from his eyes. In order to increase the maximum distance of distinct vision to infinity, the type and power of the correcting lens, the person has to use, will be :

  1. Convex, + 0.15 D

  2. Convex, +2.25 D

  3. Concave, -0.25 D

  4. Convex, + 0.2 D


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Image distance, $v=-4\ m$


We know that: $\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{\infty}=\dfrac{1}{d}$

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{d}=-0.25 $ D

 It is a concave lens.

A far sighted person has his near point $50$cm, find the power of lens he should use to see at $25$cm, clearly.

  1. $+1$D

  2. $+2$D

  3. $-2$D

  4. $-1$D


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given: A far sighted person has his near point 50cm, 

To find the power of lens he should use to see at 25cm, clearly.
Solution:
Distant objects need to be imaged at most 50 cm from the eye.
According to the given criteria,
$u=25cm, v=-50cm$
Applying lens formula, we get
$\dfrac 1f=\dfrac 1v+\dfrac 1u\\implies \dfrac 1f=\dfrac 1{-50}+\dfrac 1{25}\\implies \dfrac 1f=\dfrac {-1+2}{50}\\implies f=50cm=0.5m$
The power of the lens he should use is,
$P=\dfrac 1f=\dfrac 1{0.5}=+2D$

To read a poster on a wall, a person with defective vision needs to stand at a distance of $0.4m$ from the poster. A person with normal vision can read the poster from a distance of $2.0m$. Which one of the following lens may be used to correct the defective vision?

  1. A concave lens of $0.5D$

  2. A concave lens of $1.0D$

  3. A concave lens of $2.0D$

  4. A convex lens of $2.0D$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$u=-2m;v=-0.4m$
$\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\cfrac { 1 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ u } $
$P=\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =-\cfrac { 1 }{ 0.4 } -\cfrac { 1 }{ (-2) } =-2$
$P=-2D$
that means concave lens of power $2D$

The nearer point of hypermetropic eye is 40 cm. The lens to be used for its correction should have the power?

    • 1.5 D
    • 1.5 D
    • 2.5 D
    • 0.5 D

Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Hypermetropia is corrected by using convex lens.
Focal length of lens used f = +(defected near point)
f = +d = +40cm
$\therefore$ power of lens = $\dfrac{100}{f(cm)} = \dfrac{100}{+40} = +2.5D$

The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\phi = 5.8 \times 10^{-4}$rad and typical photoprinter prints a minimum of 300 dpi (dots per inch, 1 inch = 2.54 cm). At what minimal distance z should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots? 

  1. 14.5 cm

  2. 20.5 cm

  3. 29.5 cm

  4. 28 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here, angular resolution of human eye,
$\phi \, = \, 5.8 \, \times \, 10^{-4} \, red$
The linear distance between two successive dots in a typical photo printer is $l \, = \, \dfrac{2.54}{300} \, cm \, = \, 0.84 \, \times \, 10^{-2} \, cm.$
At a distance of z cm, the gap distance l will subtend an angle
$\phi \, = \, \dfrac{l}{z} \, \therefore \, z \, = \, \dfrac{l}{\phi} \, = \, \dfrac{0.84 \, \times \, 10^{-2} \, cm}{5.8 \, \times \, 10^{-4}} \, = \, 14.5 \, cm$

The inability among the elderly to see nearby objects clearly because of the weakaning of the ciliary muscles is called

  1. Far-sightedness

  2. Near-sightedness

  3. Presbyopia

  4. Astigmatism


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The inability among the elderly to see nearby objects clearly because of the weakening of the ciliary muscles is called presbyopia.

For a normal eye, the cornea of eye provides as converging power of 40 D and the lens least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is 20 D. Using this information , the distance between the retina and the cornea – eye lens can be estimated to be:

  1. 1.5 cm

  2. 5 cm

  3. 2.5 cm

  4. 1.67 cm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given that,

Power ${{P} _{1}}=40\,D$

Power ${{P} _{2}}=20\,D$

Total power of the combination

  $ P={{P} _{1}}+{{P} _{2}} $

 $ P=40+20 $

 $ P=60\,D $

Now, focal length of the combination

  $ f=\dfrac{1}{60}\times 100 $

 $ f=\dfrac{5}{3}\,cm $

Now, for minimum converging state of the eye lens object is at infinity

  $ u=-\infty  $

 $ f=\dfrac{5}{3} $

Now, from lens equation

  $ \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u} $

 $ \dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{\infty } $

 $ \dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{3}{5} $

 $ v=\dfrac{5}{3}\,cm $

So, the distance between retina and cornea – lens system $1.67\ cm$
