Answer:

(a) nearsighted

(b) + 2.53

(c) 395

Step-by-step explanation:

The near point of patients eye is 50.0 cm. If a person can not see objects near to it he is said to be near sighted. The women can see farther objects from 99.0 cm. She is near sighted. Focal length is calculated by

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

u = object distance

v= image distance

f= focal length

1/f = 1/26 + 1/99

f = 2.53

Diopter is power of lens needed to focus objects. The power of diopter is 395.
