An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a lens will emerge parallel to the principal axis. This is a property of convex lenses.
An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a convex lens will refract and become parallel to the principal axis. This is a result of the light rays focusing at the focal point after passing through the lens. This property is used in applications such as cameras and projectors.
When a light ray passes through a focal point of a convex mirror, it will reflect parallel to the principal axis. This is because the reflected ray follows the law of reflection, where the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle.
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
The three rays that can be used to determine the location of an image formed by a convex lens are: The ray parallel to the principal axis that passes through the focal point after refraction The ray that passes through the center of the lens and continues in the same direction The ray that passes through the focal point before reaching the lens and then emerges parallel to the principal axis.
An incident ray that passes through the vertex of a convex lens will continue in a straight line without being refracted. This is because the lens is thinnest at the vertex and has minimal effect on the path of light passing through this point.

Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.Any incident ray traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract through the lens and travel parallel to the principal axis.An incident ray that passes through the center of the lens will in effect continue in the same direction that it had when it entered the lens.

Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.
An incident ray that passes through the vertex of a convex lens will continue in a straight line without being refracted. This is because the lens is thinnest at the vertex and has minimal effect on the path of light passing through this point.
To determine the location of an image using ray diagrams, you need to draw two rays of light. One ray passes through the focal point before reflecting, and the other ray goes parallel to the principal axis and passes through the focal point after reflecting. The point where these two rays intersect will give you the location of the image.
Well this only occurs if the lens is parabolic. It is just a fundamental feature of a parabola to reflected an incident ray parallel to the principal axis through the focal point. That is why lenses etc are parabolic. I dont know if this answers your question (it probably doesnt) but oh well...
Focus or the focal point.
A converging lens, such as a convex lens, has a focal point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens. This focal point is where the image of an object placed at infinity will be formed.
The four principal rays of a curved mirror are: the ray parallel to the principal axis that reflects through the focal point after reflection, the ray that passes through the focal point before reflection and becomes parallel to the principal axis after reflection, the ray that passes through the center of curvature and reflects back along the same path, and the ray that strikes the mirror at the center of curvature, reflecting back along the same path.
