    Solution

    Sol. For a person with myopia (near-sightedness), the focal length of the concave lens should equal the farthest distance at which the person can see clearly. Here, the required focal length is 1.2 meters. Information Booster:

    • Myopia is corrected using a concave lens.
    • It occurs due to an elongated eyeball or a steep cornea.
    • Concave lenses help focus light farther away.
    • Commonly develops during childhood.
    • Proper eyeglasses or contact lenses help correct the vision.
    ---:
    • 1.5 m: Suitable for moderate myopia.
    • 2.2 m: Can apply to hyperopia cases.
    2.5 m: Used in severe vision defects.
