MCQ
A person is suffering from myopic defect. He is able to see clear objects placed at $15 \mathrm{~cm}$. What type and of what focal length of lens he should use to see clearly the object placed $60 \mathrm{~cm}$ away
  • Concave lens of $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ focal length
  • B
    Convex lens of $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ focal length
  • C
    Concave lens of $12 \mathrm{~cm}$ focal length
  • D
    Convex lens of $12 \mathrm{~cm}$ focal length

Answer

Correct option: A.
Concave lens of $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ focal length
For viewing far objects, concave lenses are used and for concave lens$u=$ wants to see $=-60 \mathrm{~cm} ; v=$ can see $=-15 \mathrm{~cm}$
so from $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} $
$\Rightarrow f=-20 \mathrm{~cm}$.
