First lets consider a double convex lens. Suppose that several rays of light approach the lens; and suppose that these rays of light are traveling parallel to the principal axis. Upon reaching the front face of the lens, each ray of light will refract towards the normal to the surface. At this boundary, the light ray is passing from air into a more dense medium (usually plastic or glass). Since the light ray is passing from a medium in which it travels fast (less optically dense) into a medium in which it travels relatively slow (more optically dense), it will bend towards the normal line. This is the FST principle of refraction. This is shown for two incident rays on the diagram below. Once the light ray refracts across the boundary and enters the lens, it travels in a straight line until it reaches the back face of the lens. At this boundary, each ray of light will refract away from the normal to the surface. Since the light ray is passing from a medium in which it travels slow (more optically dense) to a medium in which it travels fast (less optically dense), it will bend away from the normal line; this is the SFA principle of refraction.
What else can I help you with?
How many refractions occur as a light ray travles through a lens?
Two refractions occur as a light ray travels through a lens: one as the ray enters the lens, and one as the ray exits the lens.
How many re-fractions occur as a light ray travels through a lens?
A light ray typically undergoes two refractions as it travels through a lens: one at the entrance surface and another at the exit surface. These refractions cause the light ray to change direction based on the shape and refractive index of the lens.

Why is it possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre?
There are a few reasons why it is possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre. One reason is that when light passes through a lens, the lens refracts the light in such a way that the light is brought to a focus. The amount of refraction that occurs depends on the curvature of the lens and the index of refraction of the lens material. However, no matter how curved the lens is, the amount of refraction is always the same at the optical centre of the lens. This is because the optical centre is the point on the lens where the light rays passing through the lens are parallel to the principal axis of the lens. Another reason why it is possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre is that when a lens is rotated about its optical axis, the image formed by the lens does not rotate. This is because the optical centre of a lens is invariant with respect to rotation. This means that it is not necessary to take into account the actual refractions that occur at different points on the lens when calculating the image formation by the lens.
What is the difference between a 1.4 and a 1.8 lens?
The main difference between a 1.4 and a 1.8 lens is the aperture size. A 1.4 lens has a larger aperture, allowing more light to enter the camera compared to a 1.8 lens. This means the 1.4 lens can produce brighter images and better low-light performance.
What is the price different between 1.67 lens and 1.74 lens?
It's about a $300-400 USD price difference.
What is the difference between the pinhole camer and the human eye?
The pinhole camera has no lens. The human eye has a variable-focus lens.
What is the difference between a 35mm and a 50mm lens in Nikon cameras?
The main difference between a 35mm and a 50mm lens in Nikon cameras is the focal length. A 35mm lens has a wider field of view, capturing more in the frame, while a 50mm lens has a narrower field of view, ideal for portraits and close-up shots.

Double lens goggles don't fog up as easily and are more durable than single lens.
