Question

The figure shows 6 paths meeting at a point on a diverging lens. Consider rays of light striking the lens along of one of these paths and refracting. Label each of the combinations as either true or false, depending on whether they represent how rays would behave. The two points represent the focal points of the lens.


TrueFalse Light in along path Y, out along path Z.
TrueFalse Light in along path W, out along path Z.
TrueFalse Light in along path Y, out along path X.
TrueFalse Light in along path U, out along path V.
TrueFalse Light in along path V, out along path U.

Explanation / Answer

Light in along path Y, out along path Z. .....false

Light in along path W, out along path Z......false

Light in along path Y, out along path X....true

Light in along path U, out along path V.....true

Light in along path V, out along path U. ....true
