The least distance of vision of a longsighted person is 60 cm. By using a spectacle lens, this distance is reduced to 12 cm. The power of the lens is

  • + 0.5 D

  • + ( 20/30 ) D

  • - (10/3) D

  • + 2.0 D

Solution

B.

+ ( 20/30 ) D

Using:- 

By using mirror equation

     1f = 1v - 1u

where,

u - object distance

v - image distance

f - focal length

Here v = - 60 cm

        u = -12 cm

∴    1f = 1-60 - 1-12 

          = -160 + 112

     1f115

⇒   f = 15 cm

Power P = 10015  

          P = 203D
