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

    A)  concave lens of focal length 25 cm.

    B)  concave lens of focal length 50 cm.

    C)  convex lens of focal length 25 cm.

    D)  convex lens of focal length 50 cm.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A convex lens of focal length 50 cm is to be used. \[\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f},\frac{1}{-50}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{f}\] \[-\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{25}=\frac{1}{f},\frac{-1+2}{50}=\frac{1}{f},\frac{1}{50}=\frac{1}{f},\] \[\text{f}=\text{5}0\text{cm}\]
