Noopur needs a lens of power - 4.50 for correction of her vision. a) What kind of defect in vision is she suffering from? b) What is the focal length and nature of the corrective lens? c) Draw a ray diagram showing the defected eye and correction for her defect.

A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision. (a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted? (b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct her vision? (c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?
Geometric Optics
The Eye
Anne is farsighted; the nearest object she can see clearly without corrective lenses is $2.0 \mathrm{~m}$ away. It is $1.8 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the lens of her eye to the retina. (a) Sketch a ray diagram to show (qualitatively) what happens when she tries to look at something closer than $2.0 \mathrm{~m}$ without corrective lenses. (b) What should the focal length of her contact lenses be so that she can see clearly objects as close as $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from her eye?

A nearsighted person cannot see objects clearly beyond $25.0 \mathrm{cm}$ (her far point). If she has no astigmatism and contact lenses are prescribed for her, what (a) power and (b) type of lens are required to correct her vision?
