A converging lens is used to create images of distant objects such that the images are closer to c. A diverging lens is used to create images of nearby objects such that the images are further d A diverging lens is used to create images of distant objects such that the images are closer to e. None of the above away from your eye than the objects your eye than the objects away from your eye than the objects your eye than the objects

Explanation / Answer

option 'D' is correct.

Near sighted ness is the inability to focus the distant objects. In the case of distant objects the image is not exactly focussed on retina it just fall infront of the retina. so to focus the image exactly on retina we have to make the image to fall faraway than the actual (infront of retina) sothat finally it falls on retina.

to make the image to fall some more distance so that it will fall on retina we have to place a diverging lens so that it slightly diverges the rays such that it locates the exact image position on retina.
