Which type of lens is used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness)?
Correct Answer: Convex lens
- Step 1: Understand what hyperopia (farsightedness) is. It means you can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry.
- Step 2: Know that hyperopia occurs because the light entering the eye focuses behind the retina.
- Step 3: Learn that to correct this, we need to help the light focus correctly on the retina.
- Step 4: A convex lens is used for this correction. It is thicker in the middle and helps to converge (bring together) the light rays.
- Step 5: When the convex lens is placed in front of the eye, it helps to focus the light rays directly on the retina, making nearby objects clearer.
