A lens that causes light rays to bend toward (away from) its optical axis is a converging (diverging) lens. By the end of this section, you will be able to use ray diagrams to locate and describe the image formed by a lens and employ the thin-lens equation to describe and locate the image formed by a lens.

For a converging lens, the focal point is the point at which converging light rays cross; for a diverging lens, the focal point is the point from which diverging light rays appear to originate. The distance from the center of the lens to its focal point is called the focal length f. Power P of a lens is defined to be the inverse of its focal length, P=1f.
