Anjali Kapoor answered |
Concave lenses are used here. They spread the light out before it reaches the convex lens in the eye, therefore letting the image focus directly on the retina. Hyperopia is known to you probably as farsightedness.

Abhi Prajapati answered |
The near point of the eye is the minimum distance of the object from the eye, which can be seen distinctly without strain. For a normal human eye, this distance is 25 cm. The far point of the eye is the maximum distance to which the eye can see the objects clearly. The far point of the normal human eye is infinity.

Raghav Bansal answered |
As Myopia is a defect of vision in which a person cannot see the distant object clearly. This can be corrected by using the concave lens of appropriate focal length
A person with defective eyesight is unable to see objects clearly nearer than 1.5 m. He wants to read a book placed at a distance of 30 cm from his eyes. The type of a required lens and its focal length is- a)Concave lens, f = 37.5 cm
- b)Convex lens, f = 30.5 cm
- c)Convex lens, f = 37.5 cm
- d)Concave lens, f = 30.5 cm

Rahul Kapoor answered |
This person suffers from the defect of hypermetropia.
For him u = -30cm, v = -1.5 m = -150cm
Therefore, focal length of corrective lens to be used by him is
1/f = 1/v- 1/u = 1/-150 - 1/-30 = 4/150 = 37.5cm
The positive sign shows that the lens needed is a convex lens of focal length 37.5 cm.
Hence, power of lens needed
P =1/f = 100/37.5 = 2.67D

Raghav Bansal answered |
Nearsighted individuals have image formed in front of the retina. They must correct the problem by wearing a lens which provides for some diverging of light prior to reaching the lens of the eye. This will move the image further from the lens of the eye and back towards the retina.
The far point of a myopic person is 80 cm in front of the eye. What is the nature and power of the lens required to correct the problem?- a)diverging lens of power +1.25 D
- b)converging lens of power +1.25 D
- c)diverging lens of power -1.25 D

Anjana Khatri answered |
Far point of the defective eye, v = -80 cm
Object distance, u = -∞ (-infinity)
To find :
Nature and power of the corrective lens.
Solution :
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
1/f = 1/(-80) - 1/(-∞)
1/f = - 1/80 + 0 [Since, 1/-∞ = 0]
1/f = - 1/80
f = -80 cm
Therefore, the corrective lens should be of the focal length 80 cm.
Power, P = 1 / focal length
As focal length is in centimetres, 1 m = 100 cm.
P = 100 / -80
P = -1.25 D
Therefore, the corrective lens is diverging or concave lens of power -1.5 D.

Coachify answered |
When object is placed at 25 cm, then a virtual image should form at 50 cm.
So, u = -25 cm, v= -50 cm.
So, 1/f = 1/-50 - 1/-25
f = 50 cm = 0.5 m
Power, P = 1/f = 1/0.5 = +2D
Therefore , a convex lens is needed.
So, u = -25 cm, v= -50 cm.
So, 1/f = 1/-50 - 1/-25
f = 50 cm = 0.5 m
Power, P = 1/f = 1/0.5 = +2D
Therefore , a convex lens is needed.
If a person with hypermetropia struggles to see objects placed closer than 50 cm, what is the power of the lens needed to correct this vision?- a)+2 D
- b)-2 D
- c)+1 D
- d)-1 D
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?
a)
+2 D
b)
-2 D
c)
+1 D
d)
-1 D

Upsc Toppers answered |
For hypermetropia where the near point is significantly further than normal, a convex lens with a positive power, such as +2 D, is required to converge light rays correctly on the retina.

Pragya shah answered |
The Main Cause of Myopia
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a visual condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. The primary cause of myopia is the elongation of the eyeball.
Understanding Elongation of the Eyeball
- The eyeball is normally round, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina.
- In myopia, the eyeball becomes elongated from front to back.
- This elongation means that light rays entering the eye converge before they reach the retina.
Effects of Myopia
- When light is not focused directly on the retina, it leads to blurred vision for distant objects.
- Individuals with myopia often find it difficult to see clearly when looking at things far away, such as road signs or a blackboard in class.
Other Contributing Factors
- Genetics: Myopia can run in families, indicating a genetic predisposition.
- Environmental Factors: Prolonged close-up work, such as reading or using screens, can contribute to the development of myopia.
- Lack of Outdoor Activity: Studies suggest that spending more time outdoors may help reduce the risk of developing myopia.
Conclusion
Understanding that the elongation of the eyeball is the main cause of myopia helps identify the nature of the condition. Treatment options include corrective lenses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Recognizing these factors can aid in prevention and management strategies for maintaining good vision health.

Candidate Selection in Political Parties
Political parties play a crucial role in the democratic process, and selecting candidates for elections is a key function they perform. The method used by most political parties is through popular vote of party members.
Popular Vote of Party Members
- Democratic Process: Political parties often hold internal elections where registered party members can vote for their preferred candidates. This process ensures that the candidates reflect the will of the party base.
- Inclusivity: By allowing party members to vote, the selection process becomes more inclusive. Members feel a sense of ownership and engagement in the party's direction and representation.
- Transparency: A popular vote can enhance transparency within the party. It reduces the chances of backdoor deals or favoritism, as the selection process is open to scrutiny by the party members.
Other Methods of Candidate Selection
- Public Referendums: While this method involves the electorate, it is not commonly used for candidate selection within parties. Referendums are more suited for policy decisions.
- Appointment by Top Officials: Some parties may have a hierarchical structure where leaders appoint candidates. However, this can lead to discontent among members if they feel excluded from the decision-making process.
- Lottery Selection: This is an unconventional method and rarely used. It lacks the meritocratic aspect that popular voting provides, which is essential for representing the party's ideals.
In conclusion, option 'C' reflects the democratic nature of political parties, emphasizing member participation and representation in the electoral process.

Overview of Legislative Changes on Defection
In recent years, many countries have faced challenges related to political defection, where elected officials switch parties, often leading to instability and undermining voter trust. Legislative changes have aimed to address this issue effectively.
Imposition of Stricter Penalties
- Purpose: The primary goal of imposing stricter penalties is to deter politicians from switching parties for personal gain, which can lead to a lack of accountability and trust in the political system.
- Types of Penalties: These penalties may include:
- Fines: Heavy financial penalties for politicians who defect without legitimate reasons.
- Disqualification: Legislators may face disqualification from holding public office for a certain period if found guilty of party switching.
- Impact: By raising the stakes, legislators aim to create a political environment where loyalty to one’s party and commitments to constituents are prioritized over opportunistic defection.
Countering Opportunism
- Strengthening Party Cohesion: Stricter penalties encourage party solidarity, thereby fostering a more stable political landscape.
- Enhancing Voter Trust: When voters see that there are consequences for party switching, they may feel more confident in their elected officials, knowing they are less likely to abandon their party for self-serving reasons.
Conclusion
In summary, recent legislative changes have effectively sought to address the issue of political defection by imposing stricter penalties. This approach aims to enhance accountability, strengthen party loyalty, and restore public trust in the political process.

Understanding Internal Democracy in Political Parties
Internal democracy refers to the processes and practices within political parties that allow for participation, decision-making, and representation of all members. A significant challenge in the functioning of democracy arises from the concentration of power in the hands of a few leaders.
Concentration of Power
- Limited Participation: When a small group of leaders holds decision-making authority, it often leads to exclusion of the broader membership. This can stifle diverse viewpoints and limit democratic engagement within the party.
- Lack of Accountability: Concentrated power can result in leaders becoming unaccountable to party members. Decisions may be made without sufficient scrutiny or debate, leading to policies that do not reflect the interests of the wider membership.
- Stifling Dissent: A few powerful leaders may suppress dissenting opinions or alternative viewpoints, which is contrary to the principles of democratic dialogue. This can create an environment where innovation and constructive criticism are discouraged.
Impact on Democracy
- Erosion of Democratic Values: When internal democracy is lacking, it can lead to a disconnection between political leaders and the electorate. This undermines the core tenets of democracy, as citizens feel their voices are not heard.
- Polarization and Conflict: Concentrated power can lead to factionalism within the party, resulting in conflicts that may spill over into the broader political landscape. This can further polarize political discourse.
In conclusion, the concentration of power in a select few leaders poses a significant challenge to internal democracy within political parties, ultimately affecting the health and functionality of democracy itself.

Political parties play a crucial role in modern democracies by providing people access to government machinery and welfare schemes implemented by governments. They act as intermediaries between the government and the citizens, making it easier for ordinary people to engage with the political system and have their needs addressed. This accessibility helps foster a sense of connection between the public and the governing bodies, even if full trust in political parties may not always exist.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was founded with the core principles of integral humanism and cultural nationalism. These ideologies form the bedrock of the party's vision, emphasizing a strong and modern India drawing inspiration from India's ancient culture and values, along with Deendayal Upadhyaya's ideas. Cultural nationalism, often referred to as 'Hindutva', plays a significant role in shaping the party's perception of Indian nationhood and politics. This ideological foundation has been central to the BJP's growth and influence in Indian politics.
