A person with far point at 2 m needs glasses. Lens power needed:

Answer: -0.5 D.

  • A -0.5 D
  • B -1 D
  • C +0.5 D
  • D +1 D

Correct answer: A. -0.5 D

Explanation: Myopic eye: far point at 2 m. Concave lens diverges parallel rays to appear to come from 2 m. P = 1/f = 1/(-2) = -0.5 D.

Concave mirror ray construction: a ray parallel to the axis reflects through F, and a ray through F reflects parallel, locating the inverted real image. Image: Maxmath12, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, total internal reflection.
