Question
Which of the following will occur if a corrective lens is placed in front of an eye that is unable to form a clear image of a nearby object?A.The focal length will shift away from the eye's lens.B.The focal length will shift closer to the eye's lens.C.Spherical aberration will increase.D.Optical power will decrease.
Solution
The corrective lens will cause the focal length to shift closer to the eye's lens. So, the correct answer is B. The focal length will shift closer to the eye's lens.
Here's why:
-
The eye's inability to form a clear image of a nearby object is a condition known as myopia or nearsightedness. This happens when the eye's lens focuses light from nearby objects in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
-
Corrective lenses for myopia are concave or diverging lenses. They spread out the light before it enters the eye, effectively moving the focal point back onto the retina.
-
This means that the focal length (the distance between the lens and the point where it focuses light) is effectively shifted closer to the eye's lens.
-
Therefore, the corrective lens does not cause spherical aberration to increase (option C), nor does it decrease the optical power (option D). Instead, it corrects the focal length to allow the eye to focus light properly and see nearby objects clearly.
