A person needs a lens of power -6.0dioptre for correcting his distant vision. For correcting his near vision, he needs a lens of power +2.0 dioptre. What is the focal length of the lens and its nature required for correcting (i)distant vision

(ii)Near vision

A concave lens is required for correcting distant vision.
The power of concave lens = -6 dioptre
Now, power of lens = 1focal length of lens
thus, focal length = 1power of lens=160.17 m

A convex lens is used to correct the near vision.
Power of convex lens = 2 dioptre

focal length = 1power of lens=120.5 m
