• is produced by virtual rays and cannot be projected on a screen

• is produced by real rays and can be projected on a screen

An incident ray that is parallel to the principal axis...

• will reflect parallel to the principal axis
• will refract through the focal point
• will reflect through the center of curvature
• will continue along the same path through the lens
