Question: A nearsighted man cannot clearly see objects more than 2.0 m away. The distance from the lens of the eye to the retina is 2.0

A nearsighted man cannot clearly see objects more than 2.0 m away. The distance from the lens of the eye to the retina is 2.0 cm, and the eye's power of accommodation is 4.0 D (the focal length of the cornea-lens system increases by a maximum of 4.0 D over its relaxed focal length when accommodating for nearby objects).
(a) As an amateur optometrist, what corrective eyeglass lenses would you prescribe to enable him to clearly see distant objects? Assume the corrective lenses are 2.0 cm from the eyes.
(b) Find the nearest object he can see clearly with and without his glasses.
