Question

Statement 1: Myopia is corrected by the use of concave lens.

Statement 2: A concave lens diverges the light coming from the object kept at infinity and makes it appear to be within the far point of myopic eye, which then acts as the object for the myopic eye thus helping to view it.

• A. Statement 1 and 2 are correct but statement 2 is not the reason of statement 1.
• B. Statement 1 and 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.
• C. Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect.
• D. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement 1 and 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.

A concave lens forms a virtual image of the object kept at infinity, at its focus which lies within the far point of myopic eye, which then acts as the object for the myopic eye thus assisting it to view it clearly.
