A converging lens brings rays of light together at a focal point. The bending of light rays is the result ofA. A combination of
reflection and refraction.B. Reflection of light from the front surface of the lens.C. Refraction of light passing through the lens.D. Diffraction of light through the small aperture of the lens.
The convergence or divergence of the rays of light is only due to refraction of light. When a ray of light is made to pass through a lens, it bend's from it's original path. This bending of light from its original path is called Refraction. Whereas in Reflection the ray of light is reflected back into the same medium.
Hence the correct option is C. Refraction of light passing through the lens.
