Solution

The correct option is C Behind the retina and is corrected by convex lens
Hypermetropia is also known as far-sightedness or long-sightedness in which the image of nearby objects get blurred. It occurs due to shortening of eye ball and this results in the formation of image behind the retina. Hypermetropia is corrected by using convex lens which converge the light rays and focus them on the retina.
So, the correct answer is 'Behind retina and is corrected by convex lens'.

Name one defect of vision that cannot be corrected by any type of spectacle lens. Explain in brief that defect. In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of retina and not at the retina itself. Why does this defect arise? [3 MARKS]

If the magnification produced by a lens is -0.5, the correct statement is :

(a) the lens is concave

(b) the image is virtual

(d) the image is real and diminshed formed by a convex lens

Statement 1: Hypermetropia is corrected by use of convex lens

Statement 2: The eye lens has to become thick so that it Hypermetropia (hyperopia) also known as farsightedness is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near is able to bend light coming from a nearby object even more so as to form image at retina itself which a hypermetropic eye is unable to do so we place an extra convex lens which assists the eye lens in further convergence of light.

If the image was formed in front of the retina rather than behind the retina, then the person would need to correct the vision problem by using a:
