Please don't use calculus, thanks!

Optics question:

You are presented with an asymmetric lens (see figure) which may or may not focus light. The magnitude of the radii of curvature are equal for both sides. A.) Using the knowledge of ray optics, ray tracings, and light, diagram how light rays would behave in passing from left to right and right to left through the lens. B.) Describe an experimental procedure which would allow you to determine the focal length of this lens for light traveling in both directions.

Explanation / Answer

THE EXAMPLE IS THAT OF A CONCAVO CONVEX OR A CONVEXO CONCAVE LENS AS SEEN FROM EITHER SIDES.

convex lens is converging and conve is diverging in nature

so rays coming from left to right and from right to left will neither be converged or diverged as the effect of the one would be neutralised by the other one.
