A small bulb is placed at the focal point of a converging lens. When the bulb is switched on, the lens produces:

(a) a convergent beam of light

(b) a pergent beam of light

(c) a parallel beam of light

(d) a patch of coloured light

(c) A parallel beam of light.

Explanation

When a small illuminated bulb is placed at the focal point of a converging lens, the lens produces a parallel beam of light. Because, according to the rules for obtaining images by a convex lens, when a beam of light is coming from the focus of a converging lens, it becomes parallel, after refraction from the lens.
