Explanation
Converging Lens Ray Diagram Steps:
- Recall that a converging lens refracts parallel rays toward a focal point on the opposite side.
- Identify diagrams where incoming parallel rays bend inward after the lens.
- Check for principal rays: one parallel to axis through focal point, one through center undeviated.
- Select the diagram matching these convergence paths.
Why B is correct:
- Rays converge to a focal point after the lens, as per the lens formula where positive focal length indicates convergence for real images.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Rays diverge after the lens, characteristic of a diverging lens.
- C: Rays remain parallel post-lens, showing no refraction.
- D: Rays converge before the lens, violating Snell's law of refraction direction.
Final answer: B
