Question

In myopia or short sightedness,

• A. Image is formed slightly in front of retina because eye ball is longer
• B. Eye ball is normal but image is formed over blind spot
• C. Eye ball is normal but images is formed slightly behind the retina due to faulty lens
• D. Curvature of cornea becomes irregular

Answer 1

The correct option is A Image is formed slightly in front of retina because eye ball is longer

Myopia is also known as short-sightedness. It occurs when the eyeball becomes longer or the eye lens get more convex due to which light rays get focussed at a point before the retina and as a result, image is formed in front of retina. It is corrected by using concave lens that diverge the light rays to get focussed on the retina and thus, the image is formed on the retina.

So, the correct answer is 'Image is formed slightly in front of retina because eye ball is longer'.
