Question

We want to determine the position of an object placed in front of a converging lens through the method of ray tracing. Starting from the top of the object, we draw a light ray that is incident on the center of the lens. From the center of the lens, we should further draw this light ray O as a refracted ray parallel to the optical axis. as a refracted ray diverging away from the optical axis as if fronm the near focal point of the lens. as a ray continuing straight through the lens (without refraction) on the other side of the lens. as a ray reflected from the lens and passing through the near focal point of the len:s

Explanation / Answer

Any ray, incidenting on the center of the lens does not refract, rather is passes without any deviation from it's path.

Hence option (3) is correct.
