MCQ
A plane wave front falls on a convex lens. The emergent wave front is:
  • A
    Plane
  • B
    Cylindrical
  • C
    Spherical diverging
  • D
    Spherical converging

Answer

  1. Spherical converging

Explanation:

A convex lens is thicker at the middle. When a light ray is incident parallel
to principle axis it is refracted towards the focal point. Similarly when a plane wave front is incident on a convex lens the light is refracted towards a point on the focal plane.

As the light is getting focused at a point it is converging and the emerging wave front is a spherical converging.
