Out of the two lenses, one concave and the other convex, state which one will diverge a parallel beam of light falling on it. Draw a ray diagram to show the principal focus of the lens.A ray of light after refraction from a convex lens emerges parallel to its principal axis.(i)Draw a labelled ray diagram to show it.(ii)In this case, the incident ray before refraction from the lens passes through a point on its principal axis. Name the point.
