An object is situated to the left of a lens. A ray of light from the object is close to and parallel to the principal axis of th
e lens. The ray passes through the lens. Which one of the following statements is true?
The ray passes through a focal point of the lens only if the lens is a converging lens.
The ray passes through the lens without changing direction, no matter whether the lens is converging or diverging.
The ray crosses the principal axis at a distance from the lens equal to twice the focal length, no matter whether the lens is converging or diverging.
The ray passes through a focal point of the lens only if the lens is a diverging lens.
The ray passes through a focal point of the lens, no matter whether the lens is converging or diverging.

Answer:
The ray passes through a focal point of the lens only if the lens is a converging lens.
Explanation:
By the principles of geometric optics, we know that all rays parallel to the principal axis of converging lens, change its direction to a point situated in the axis of the lens. This last point is know as the focal point.
Hence, the only truth choice is:
The ray passes through a focal point of the lens only if the lens is a converging lens.

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:
where
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)
downward is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
So the equation becomes
This means that
C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Because every second, it increases by in the downward direction.
