Question

Statement1: Myopia is corrected by the use of the concave lens.
Statement 2: A concave lens forms a virtual image of the object kept at infinity at its focus. Therefore the image formed by concave lies within the far point of the myopic eye, which then acts as the object for the myopic eye thus helping it view it.

• A. Statement 1 and 2 are correct but statement 2 is not the reason for statement 1.
• B. Statement 1 and 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.
• C. Both statements are wrong.
• 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 the myopic eye, which then acts as the object for the myopic eye. Now the final image of that virtual image made by the concave lens will be formed on the retina, thus assisting eye in viewing object clearly as shown in ray diagrams given above.
