While the term light 'rays' is a 400 year old artifact and may give a misguided idea of what the visible part of the em wave spectrum is, the point at which the optical axis of a part of the incident plane of a light wave focused by a lens is called the FOCAL POINT of the lens. (It is not of course IN the lens).
What else can I help you with?
A lens that forms images by refracting light rays together is called what?
A lens that forms images by refracting light rays together is called what?
Light rays come together?
When light rays come together, they converge at a focal point. This occurs when light travels through a convex lens or reflects off a concave mirror. The point where the light rays meet is where the image appears to be located.
What is the point where rays of light meet after being bent by a lens?
The point where rays of light converge after passing through a lens is called the focal point. It is the point where the light rays come together, either in front of (converging lens) or behind (diverging lens) the lens.
Is the point at which light rays parellel to the optical axis meet?
The point at which light rays parallel to the optical axis come together or appear to come together after passing through a lens is known as the focal point.
What is light rays coming in called?
Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.
Type of rays that come together?
The type of rays that come together are called convergent rays.

What is light rays coming in called?
Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.
What is the light rays that bounce back called?
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
An image formed when rays actually meet is called?
When light rays come together, they converge.
What point doe the light beams come together?
The point where light beams come together is known as the focal point or focus of the light rays. This is where the light rays converge or meet after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. The focal point is a key concept in optics and is used in understanding how images are formed.
What type of lens can cause a beam of light to focus or come together?
A converging lens can cause a beam of light to focus or come together at a specific point called the focal point. This lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges, allowing it to refract light rays in a way that brings them to a single point.
Can light rays converge?
Yes, light rays can converge when they pass through a converging lens or reflect off a concave mirror. In such cases, the light rays come together at a focal point after being refracted or reflected, forming a real image.
What are convergent rays?
Convergent rays are light rays that come together or meet at a specific point after passing through a convex lens or a concave mirror. This point is called the focal point, where the rays converge and form a focused image. This is crucial for the formation of clear and sharp images in optical systems.
