Homework Statement
A person had a near point of 80 cm. What focal length lens would be required to correct this persons near point to 30cm, allowing then to read at this distance
Homework Equations
Maybe: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f = P
I found another similar question which used 1/(the given near point aka the 80cm) - 1/(the desired near point aka 30) = 1/f
This got me the right answer, but I still don't understand why.
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is 48cm
