An object is placed in front of a thin converging lens of focal length fff. A real image is formed on a screen on the opposite side of the lens.
To locate the image, two rays are traced from the top of the object:
Which of the following correctly describes the path of these two rays after passing through the lens?
Ray 1 refracts and passes through the principal axis at a distance of 2f2f2f from the lens, while Ray 2 passes through the optical center and continues in a straight line without bending.
Ray 1 refracts and passes through the principal axis at a distance of 2f2f2f from the lens, while Ray 2 bends at the lens and does not continue in a straight line.
Ray 1 refracts and passes through the principal axis at a distance of fff from the lens, while Ray 2 passes through the optical center and continues in a straight line without bending.
Ray 1 refracts and passes through the principal axis at a distance of fff from the lens, while Ray 2 bends at the optical center and does not continue in a straight line.
