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.
