Question #1
A person with myopia uses spectacles of power -2 D. Far point without glasses is
A. 50 cm
B. 25 cm
C. Infinity
D. 2 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For myopia, corrective lens forms image of distant object at far point. 1/f = 1/(-far point) - 1/(-∞) => -2 = -1/F => F = 0.5 m = 50 cm.
