Nearsightedness

Two converging lenese are combined to simulate a short focal length eye. On the lecture table, the image of a light bulb is projected through the combined lenses onto a nearby screen to show sharp focus for a nearsighted eye. Next, the light bulb is moved farther from the combined lenses to blur the image and simulate nearsightedness. A diverging lens is placed in front of the combined lenses which brings the image again into focus, thereby correcting the nearsightedness.
Equipment:
- Two converging lenses
- Diverging lens
- Light source
- Small screen
- Stands for lenses and screen
