Question

A person with hypermetropic eye can read only material kept beyond 50 cm from the eye. Why?

• A. Light rays from a closeby object are focused at a point beyond the retina.
• B. Light rays from distant objects are focused at a point beyond the retina.
• C. Light rays from a nearby object are focused at a point in front of the retina.
• D. Light rays from a distant object are focused at a point infront of the retina.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Light rays from a closeby object are focused at a point beyond the retina.

In hypermetropia, light rays from a closeby object are focused at a point beyond the retina. Therefore, a focused image is not formed at retina causing a blurred vision of nearby objects.
