Fig. 5.1 presents part of the ray diagram for a lens acting as a magnifying glass.
Three rays travel from the top of object O.
The points marked F are one focal length away from the lens.
Fig. 5.1 shows a converging lens, and the rays are labelled R.
(a)[1]
State the type of lens shown in Fig. 5.1.
(b)[2]
Describe what happens to the ray of light R:
• when it enters the lens
• when it leaves the lens.
(c)[2]
Using all three rays from O, complete Fig. 5.1 so that the image formed is shown.
(d)[1]
Underline every word in the list that describes the image formed in (c).
