Light — practice question

Fig. 8.1 depicts two parallel rays of light passing through a thin converging lens. The diagram has not been completed. A principal focus is marked at $f_1$ and another at $f_2$.
(a(i))[3]

On Fig. 8.1, finish the ray diagram to show how the lens converges the light.

(a(ii))[1]

Which distance on Fig. 8.1 gives a focal length of the lens? Tick one box: C–$f_2$, $f_1$–$f_2$, $f_2$–Y.

(b(i))[1]

State the name of the angle of incidence marked z.

(b(ii))[2]

Extend the light ray’s path until it emerges from the block.
