Question 6
Question
Which labelled distance is the focal length of the lens?
Question 7
Question
Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?
Answer
-
A A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.
-
B All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
-
C The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length.
-
D The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.
Question 8
Question
