A farsighted woman has a near point of 700 cm What power eye
A farsighted woman has a near point of 70.0 cm. What power eyeglasses held 1.90 cm from the eyes will allow her to see objects 25.0 cm away from the eyes?
D
Solution
For woman:
Object distance from lens, do = 25 -2 = 23 cm
Image distance, di = - 70 + 2 = - 68 cm
Applying lens equation,
1/f = 1/di + 1/do
1/f = 1/(-68) + 1/23
f = 34.76 cm = 0.3476 m
P = 1/f = 2.88 D
