On Fig. 8.1, sketch a straight line to show a ray from the tip of the arrowhead of O to the tip of the arrowhead of I. Add a vertical dotted line to indicate where the lens is placed. This dotted line must extend above and below the principal axis.
Draw a second ray from the tip of object O to the tip of image I. This ray should pass through a principal focus. Mark the principal focus, F.
Work out the focal length of the lens.
State and explain one further characteristic of I.
