Q. A man can see the object between $15 \,cm$ and $30 \,cm$. He uses the lens to see the far objects. Then due to the lens used, the near point will be at

Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

Solution:

For improving far point, concave lens is required and for this concave lens
$u=\infty, v=-30 \,cm$
So $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{-30}-\frac{1}{\infty}$
$ \Rightarrow f=-30 \,cm$
for near point $\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{-15}-\frac{1}{-15}-\frac{1}{u}$
$ \Rightarrow u=-30 \,cm$
