Question

Aila is creating a model of a double convex lens. She draws horizontal lines to show light rays traveling toward the lens.

How should Aila draw the light rays after they move through the lens?

Group of answer choices


Aila should draw them continuing in the same direction.


Aila should draw them diverging without intersecting.


Aila should draw them diffracting and moving upward.


Aila should draw them converging to a point.

Answer 1

The correct option is D) Aila should draw them converging to a point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convex lenses are converging lenses. When light rays will pass through a convex lens, they will converge at a point. The converging point can be described as the point where the rays will meet with one another or in other words the light rays will intersect with each other. Due to the converging properties, convex lenses are found in telescopes, microscopes, eye glasses etc. These lenses are used for magnification.
