Question

Nearsightedness can be corrected by using eyeglass lenses that are

A. concave in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to converge.

B. convex in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to converge.

C. convex in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to diverge.

D. concave in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to diverge.

Answer 1

Nearsightedness can be corrected by using eyeglass lenses that are D. concave in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to diverge.

Answer 2

Concave in shape and cause light rays entering the eyes to diverge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nearsightedness is also called myopia. It is a defect in the human eye in which a person is able to see nearby objects clearly but the far objects are seen blurry. In this type of defect, the light is unable to focus on the retina as a result far objects appears blurry.

For the correction of this defect a concave lens is used. It helps to cause light entering eyes to diverge. So, the correct option is (d).
