A ray of light incident on a lens parallel to its principal axis, after refraction passes through or appears to come from

Open in App

Solution

The parallel rays of light meet at a point on the principal axis after refraction by a convex lens or appear to come from a point on the principal axis after refraction by a concave lens. This point is known as the second focus of the lens.
