The diagram below shows a lens as a combination of a glass slab and two prisms.
(i) Name the lens formed by the combination.
(ii) What is the line XX' called?
(iii) Complete the path of the incident ray AB after passing through the lens.
(iv) The final emergent ray either meets XX' at a point or appears to come from a point on XX’. Label it as F. What is this point called?

Answer
(i) The combination forms a concave lens.
(ii) The line XX' is called the principal axis.
(iii) Below diagram shows the path of the incident ray AB after passing through the concave lens:
(iv) The point F is called a focal point or focus.

A parallel oblique beam of light falls on a
(i) convex lens,
(ii) concave lens.
Draw a diagram in each case to show the refraction of light through the lens.
