Ray Diagram: Convex, Concave and Mirror

CONVEX


Ray 1 is parallel to the axis until it reaches the lens then refracts, passing through the focal point on the right.



Ray 2 passes through the center without bending





Ray 3 passes through focal point on the left until it reaches the lens then refracts, parallel to the axis.



CONCAVE



Ray 1 is parallel to the axis then refracts through the lens so that, when dotted back, it passes through the focal point.







Ray 2 passes through center without bending.













Ray 3 aims for the secondary focus, refracts through the lens and runs off parallel to the axis on the other side of the lens.








MIRROR
