    Calculate the focal length of a reading glass of a person if his distance of distinct vision is 75 cm.

    A)  \[37.5cm\]         

    B)  \[100.4cm\]

    C)  \[25.6cm\]        

    D)  \[75.2cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : The distance of normal vision is 25 cm. So if a book to be read is at \[m=-25cm\], its image should be formed at \[v=-75cm\]. Therefore, the required focal length (f) is \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\] \[=\frac{1}{-75cm}-\frac{1}{-25cm}\] \[=\frac{-1}{75cm}+\frac{1}{25cm}=\frac{-1+3}{75cm}=\frac{2}{75cm}\] \[f=\frac{75cm}{2}=37.5cm\]
