What types of lenses are required by the person suffering from this defect
to see the objects clearly?
Akshay, sitting in the last row in his class, could not see clearly the words
written on the blackboard. When the teacher noticed it, he announced if
any student sitting in the front row could volunteer to exchange his seat
with Akshay. Salman immediately agreed to exchange his seat with
Akshay. He could now see the words written on the blackboard clearly.
The teacher thought it fit to send the message to Akshay's parents
advising them to get his eyesight checked.
In the context of the above event, answer the following questions:
(i) Which defect of vision is Akshay suffering from? Which type of
lens is used to correct this defect?
(ii) State the values displayed by the teacher and Salman.
(iii) In your opinion, in what way can Akshay express his gratitude
towards the teacher and Salman?
