Question

Assertion(A): A concave lens is used as a corrective lens in hypermetropia.

Reason(R): A hypermetropic eye forms an image after the retina.

• A. (A) Is true but (R) is false.
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not correct explanation of (A).
• C. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A).​
• D. (A) Is false but (R) is true. ​

Answer 1

The correct option is D (A) Is false but (R) is true. ​

Hypermetropia or long sightdness is a condition where the eye forms an image after the retina. This happens due to the reduction in the converging power of the eye lens. In this case, a convex lens is used as a corrective lens such that the image is formed on the retina.
