Explanation

• Pressure in gases is due to the collision of gas molecules with the walls of the container.
• Gas molecules are in constant random motion.
• They continuously strike the container walls.
• These collisions create force per unit area (pressure).
• More collisions mean higher pressure.

Explanation

• Short-sightedness is called Myopia.
• It is corrected by a concave lens.
• This lens is thin in the center and thick at edges.
• It helps light focus on the retina correctly.
• Without correction, distant objects look blurred.

Additional information:

• Long-sightedness is called Hypermetropia.
• It is corrected by a convex lens.
• This lens is thick in the center and thin at edges.
• It helps light focus on the retina properly.
• Without correction, near objects look blurred.
