Different kinds of lenses are used in eyeglasses to help people with eye conditions. Farsightedness is an eye condition in which distant objects appear clear but close objects appear blurry. Nearsightedness is an eye condition in which close objects appear clear but distant objects appear blurry.

A
Concave lenses would help someone who is nearsighted because the lenses make objects look smaller and closer.
B
Concave lenses would help someone who is farsighted because the lenses make objects look smaller and closer.
C
Convex lenses would help someone who is nearsighted because the lenses can make objects look smaller and closer.

Convex lenses would help someone who is nearsighted because the lenses can make objects look larger and farther away.

Roshan makes the table below to describe how to draw a ray diagram for a convex lens.What error did Roshan make?

Question illustration
A
The ray that goes through the center should bend and go through the focal point on the other side.
B
The ray that starts out parallel with the main axis should bend toward the axis and go through the focal point on the other side.
C
The ray that goes parallel to the main axis after passing through the lens should also be parallel from the object to the lens.
D
The rays in the table describe how rays are drawn for a concave lens rather than for a convex lens.
