Physics Question on spherical lenses

If the distance of the far point for a myopia pa dent is doubled, the focal length of the lens required to cure it will become:

A

double

B

half

C

the same but a concave lens

D

the same but a convex lens

Answer

double

Explanation

Solution

In the eye defect of myopia, the focal length of lens f=d,f=-d, here d is the distance of far point. Therefore, if dd is doubled the focal length will also be doubled.
