उत्तर
Principal Focus:-
The convex lens converge the rays incident on it after refraction, to a point on the principal axis. This point is known as principal focus of the convex lens. The rays incident on concave lens appear to diverge from a point on the principal axis. This point is known as the principal focus of concave lens.
