In case of hypermetropia, where is the image formed? Correct Answer Behind the retina

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., Behind the retina.

Hypermetropia:

  • Hypermetropia is the term used to define longsightedness.
  • In this, the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina.
  • This means that light is focused too far back in the eye, causing things that are close up to appear blurred.
  • A convex lens is used to solve the problem of longsightedness or Hypermetropia.
  • A convex lens is also known as a converging lens. A converging lens is a lens that converges rays of light that are travelling parallel to its principal axis.
