Question

A student has noticed that she can't see objects clearly when they are far away. An eye doctor diagnoses her as being nearsighted. What type of lens could help the student correct her vision problem?

A.) Convex lens

B.) Flat lens

C.) Diverging lens

D.) Converging lens

Answer 1

C.) Diverging Lens

Step-by-step explanation:

People who are nearsighted are able to clearly see objects that are close to them, but objects that are at a distance appear fuzzy and out of focus to them. An eye that is nearsighted is usually too long in shape from the front to the back for the light reflected on the retina to be sharp or in focus. It might have a cornea that is too curved also. As the light rays pass through the lens, the focal point is in front of the retina instead of on it. Using a diverging lens with the proper curve or focal length, eyeglasses can correct the light images so that the focal point is correct and the image will be clear.

Answer 2

✦ Explanation ✦

The best lens for nearsightedness would be diverging lens. It helps equip the eye to see things clearly when they're far away.
