THE FAR POINT DISTANCE OF OF A SHORT SIGHTED PERSON IS 1.5 M , FIND THE FOCAL LENGTH , POWER AND NATURE OF TH LENSES NEEDED
Added by William J.
Step 1
- A short-sighted person (myopic) has a far point of 1.5 meters. This means they can see objects clearly only up to 1.5 meters away. - We need to find the focal length, power, and nature of the lenses required to correct this vision. Show more…

A person needs a lens of power −5.5 dioptres for correcting his distant vision. For correcting his near vision he needs a lens of power +1.5 dioptre. What is the focal length of the lens required for correcting (i) distant vision, and (ii) near vision?
