Answer:

p = 49.95 cm

This is the distance from the student to the stepped, in order to be able to reach this distance they must sit in the first row

Step-by-step explanation:

In medicine it is very common to express the potential visual corrections that is

P = 1 / f

where P is the power and f the focal length in meters

In this exercises give the power, let's find the focal length

f = 1 / p

f = 1/52

f = 0.01923 m = 1.923 cm

For geometrical optics calculations the most used equation is the constructor equation

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

To be able to see an object clearly, its image must be on the retina,

q = 2.00 cm

find the distance to the object

1 / p = 1 / f - 1 / q

1 / p = 1 / 1,923 - 1/2.00

1 / p = 0.02002

p = 49.95 cm

This is the distance from the student to the stepped, in order to be able to reach this distance they must sit in the first row
