Question
In the following diagram, L1 and L2 are the two convex lense placed at separation equal to the sum of focal lengths of the two lenses. A and B are the two rays of light incident on the lens L1. Complete the path of rays till they emerge out of the lens L2.
What principles have you used in completing the diagram?

Solution
The complete ray diagram is shown below.
The following two principles have been used in completing the diagram:
(i) A ray of light incident parallels to the principal axis after refraction from the convey lens passes through the focus.
(ii) A ray of light incident on the convex lens through its focus after refraction becomes parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
