Is the point at which light rays parellel to the optical axis meet?
The point at which light rays parallel to the optical axis come together or appear to come together after passing through a lens is known as the focal point.
What is it called when light rays come together?
While the term light 'rays' is a 400 year old artifact and may give a misguided idea of what the visible part of the em wave spectrum is, the point at which the optical axis of a part of the incident plane of a light wave focused by a lens is called the FOCAL POINT of the lens. (It is not of course IN the lens).
What point doe the light beams come together?
The point where light beams come together is known as the focal point or focus of the light rays. This is where the light rays converge or meet after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. The focal point is a key concept in optics and is used in understanding how images are formed.
Can light rays converge?
Yes, light rays can converge when they pass through a converging lens or reflect off a concave mirror. In such cases, the light rays come together at a focal point after being refracted or reflected, forming a real image.
What does each concave and convex lens cause light rays to do?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge (come together) after passing through it, while a concave lens causes light rays to diverge (spread apart) after passing through it.
