The near and far focal points refer to distances at which light rays are brought into focus by a lens or mirror. The near focal point is where light rays converge when the object is closer than the focal length. The far focal point is where light rays converge when the object is beyond the focal length.

Do near objects have a longer focal length?

Focal length is related to the lens.  It has nothing to do with how near or far the object is to the lens or objective.


What image is produced on a converging lens when an object is twice as far as the focal point?

An inverted and smaller real image is produced by a converging lens when an object is placed twice as far as the focal point. The image is located between the focal point and twice the focal length from the lens.


Are rays perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at or near the focal point?

It should be parallel. Rays "parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror converage at or near the focal point.


How does the focal length of eye changes from a near object to far object?

When you're looking at a near object, the light rays converge at a point behind the retina so the focal length of your eye increases so that the parallel rays of light converge on the back of the retina. Therefore, if you're looking from a near object to a far object, the focal length of your eye should decrease back to its normal, relaxed size.


What location does the image approach as the object gets arbitrarily far away from the mirror?

Half the radius of the mirror, also known as the focal point.

The distance from lens to focal point is called?

The distance from a lens to the focal point is called the focal length.


How does a converging lens focus objects that are infinitely far away?

A converging lens focuses objects that are infinitely far away by bending light rays that are parallel to the lens axis towards a single point called the focal point. This creates a clear and sharp image of the distant object at the focal point.

Difference between focal point and focal length?

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.
