    Question

    A beam of parallel rays close to the principal axis are incident on a convex lens. At which point will they converge:

    A.

    At 2F

    B.

    Between F and 2F

    C.

    Beyond RF

    D.

    At F

    Correct option is D

    Tha Correct Answer is: (d)  At F (Focus)
    Explanation:
    When a beam of parallel rays close to the principal axis is incident on a convex lens (converging lens):
    Convex Lens and Convergence of Light Rays:
    A convex lens (also called a converging lens) is a transparent optical device that bends and focuses incoming light rays to a single point due to refraction.
    It is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
    Information booster: Key Concepts:
    • Principal Axis: An imaginary straight line passing through the center of the lens and perpendicular to its surface.
    • The geometric center of the lens through which light passes without deviation.
    • Principal Focus (F): The point where parallel rays of light converge (in the case of a convex lens).
    Additional Information :.

    : At 2F – Rays parallel to the principal axis do not converge at 2F. Instead, rays coming from a point at 2F on one side will converge at 2F on the other side.

    : Between F and 2F – This position is where an object placed at this point would form a real, inverted, and magnified image beyond 2F.

    : Beyond 2F – Parallel rays never converge beyond 2F.
