Detailed Solution

A man who wears glasses of power

3 D

must hold a newspaper at least

25 cm

away to see the print clearly. If he looks off the glasses and still wants a clear vision he would keep the newspaper at

v = - 1 m .

Given,

u = - 0.25 m

and

f = \frac{1}{P} = \frac{1}{3} m

f = focal length

P = power of lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

By lens formula-

P = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}

So, we get-

3 =

\frac{1}{v}

- \frac{1}{- 0.25}

V = - 1 m
