- When rays of light from a distant object pass through a converging lens, the light rays converge at the focus of lens.
A convex lens converges (brings closer) a parallel beam of light rays to a point F on its other side (right side).
- When rays of light come from the focus of lens, the emergent rays of light get parallel to the principal axis.
