प्रश्न
Define the term principal foci of a concave lens and show them with the help of proper diagrams.
उत्तर
A light ray can pass through a lens from either direction. Therefore, a lens has two principal foci.
For a concave lens, the first focal point is a point F1 on the principal axis of the lens such that the incident rays of light appearing to meet at it, after refraction from the lens become parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
For a concave lens, the second focal point is a point F2 on the lens's main axis. Light rays that hit the lens parallel to the main axis look like they are spreading out from this point after being bent by the lens.
