How do convex lenses bend light rays?

convex lenses bend light through refraction 1) a light ray that is parallel to the principal axis is refracted through the principal focus F. 2) A light ray passing through the principal focus F' is refracted parallel to the principal axis 3) a light ray passing through the lens' midpoint travels straight on -K14
