In ray diagrams, what is the significance of the principal axis?

• It is the line where all rays converge.

• It is the line perpendicular to the lens or mirror surface.

• It is the line that passes through the center of curvature and the focal point.

• It is the line that divides the lens or mirror into two equal halves.

Which type of image is formed by a convex mirror, as shown in ray diagrams?

• Real and inverted

• Virtual and upright

• Real and upright

• Virtual and inverted

In a ray diagram of a concave lens, how do parallel rays behave after passing through the lens?

• They converge at the focal point.

• They diverge as if coming from the focal point.

• They pass through the optical center without deviation.

• They reflect back parallel to the principal axis.

What is the purpose of using a ray diagram in optics?

• To measure the speed of light.

• To determine the path of light through lenses and mirrors.

• To calculate the wavelength of light.

• To find the intensity of light.
