In geometrical optics, to locate the image of an object, tracing of a ray as it refracts from a lens is very important.

1. A ray parallel to the principal axis after refraction passes through the principal focus or appears to diverge from it.

2. A ray through the optical centre $P$ passes undeviated.

3. A ray passing through the first focus $F_1$ become parallel to the principal axis after refraction.
