Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of lens is used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness)?
  • Step 1: Understand what hyperopia (farsightedness) is. It means you have trouble seeing nearby objects clearly.
  • Step 2: Know that hyperopia happens because the light entering the eye focuses behind the retina.
  • Step 3: Learn that to fix this, we need a lens that helps focus the light correctly on the retina.
  • Step 4: Identify the type of lens used for this correction. A convex lens is used.
  • Step 5: Understand that a convex lens bends (converges) the light rays inward before they enter the eye.
  • Step 6: Realize that by using a convex lens, nearby objects will be seen clearly.
