When a ray of light is parallel to the principal axis and passes through a concave lens, it diverges after refraction.

When a ray of light is parallel to the principal axis and passes through a concave lens, it diverges after refraction. In other words, the ray of light bends away from the principal axis as it passes through the concave lens. Concave lenses are thinner in the center and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to spread out. This divergence is a characteristic behavior of concave lenses, and it is different from the converging behavior exhibited by convex lenses.
When a ray of light is parallel to the principal axis and passes through a convex lens, it converges after refraction. In other words, the ray of light bends towards the principal axis as it passes through the convex lens. Convex lenses are thicker in the center and thinner at the edges, causing ligRead more
When a ray of light is parallel to the principal axis and passes through a convex lens, it converges after refraction. In other words, the ray of light bends towards the principal axis as it passes through the convex lens. Convex lenses are thicker in the center and thinner at the edges, causing light rays to converge. This converging behavior is a characteristic feature of convex lenses and is different from the diverging behavior exhibited by concave lenses. The point where the refracted rays converge is called the principal focus of the convex lens.
Lenses with small apertures and equidistant centers of curvature from the optical center are typically referred to as "thin lenses." Thin lenses are a simplification used in optics when the thickness of the lens is much smaller than the radii of curvature. This allows for convenient application of tRead more
Lenses with small apertures and equidistant centers of curvature from the optical center are typically referred to as “thin lenses.” Thin lenses are a simplification used in optics when the thickness of the lens is much smaller than the radii of curvature. This allows for convenient application of the lens maker’s formula and the lens formula, making calculations and analyses more straightforward.
In a series circuit, where resistors are connected end-to-end along the same path for the flow of current, the relationship between the current through the circuit and the individual resistors is that the current remains the same through all the resistors.

In a series circuit, where resistors are connected end-to-end along the same path for the flow of current, the relationship between the current through the circuit and the individual resistors is that the current remains the same through all the resistors.
This is a consequence of the conservation of electric charge. In a series circuit, there is only one pathway for the flow of current, so the same current flows through each resistor. The total voltage across the series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops across each resistor, according to Ohm’s Law (V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance).
