NEED ANSWER ASAP!
Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?

A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.

B All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

C The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length

D The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.​

Answer 1

Geometric optics allows you to find which the correct answer about which false statement is:

  B)  All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

Geometric optics studies the formation of images using the light geometric properties of optical systems, the main expression for this is:

      $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$  

Where f is the focal length, p and q the distance to the object and the image respectively.

There are some points of special interest:

• Object at infinity (p = ∞).  In this case of the expression we see that the image is at the focal length.

• Image at infinity (q = ∞). In this case the object is at the focal point.

Let's analyze the claims.

A) True. A parallel ray comes from infinity and the image is formed at the focal point.

B) False. The image point is given by the expression above and depends on the distance to the object.

C) True. This is the definition of focal length.

D) True. All distances are measured from the main axis.

In conclusion, using geometric optics we can find that the correct answer about which false statement  is:  

      B)  All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
