Question 6 • Physical Science

Mavis looks through her father’s glasses and notices that everything looks smaller. What should she conclude about her father’s vision?

Answer
A
Her father is nearsighted and wears convex lenses to correct it.
B
Her father is farsighted and wears concave lenses to correct it.
C
Her father is nearsighted and wears concave lenses to correct it.
D
Her father is farsighted and wears convex lenses to correct it.

Explanation

The glasses make objects appear smaller, which is the effect of concave (diverging) lenses. Concave lenses are used to correct nearsightedness by spreading incoming light so it focuses properly on the retina. Therefore, her father is nearsighted and wears concave lenses.
