What causes short sightedness ?how is it corrected

Short sight occurs when the eyeball is too long or the lens is too thick, or both. As a result, light rays from distant objects are focused in front of the retina (because the light rays are highly converged). The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

Short sight can be corrected by wearing glasses with concave lenses. Light rays from distant objects are diverged by concave lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image.

a and c

explanation:

both a and c are correct answers to my knowledge, it's been a bit since i've done anything related to magnetic fields, but it should be right.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
