Light - Reflection and Refraction 3 marks Medium
Draw each of the following diagrams on your answer sheet and show the path of the ray after refraction.
F F (i) F F (ii) F F (iii)

Answer

Convex lens: parallel ray passes through , ray through emerges parallel; concave lens: parallel ray appears to come from .

(i) The ray, parallel to the principal axis, falls on a convex lens. After refraction it bends towards the axis and passes through the principal focus F on the other side of the lens (). (ii) The ray passes through the principal focus F on the side of the incident light () and falls on a convex lens. After refraction it emerges parallel to the principal axis. (iii) The ray, parallel to the principal axis, falls on a concave lens. After refraction it bends away from the axis, so that it appears to diverge from the principal focus F on the same side as the incident light (); this backward extension is drawn dashed. (The three completed ray diagrams are shown.)
