An arrow pointing upward is placed to the left of a thin converging lens, as shown in the diagram. To identify the location of the image, a student draws three principal from the arrow. What feature should all three principal rays have in common?

I'm not sure if I have the right words for it, but it is most likely that all three rays will form a larger inverted image after they pass through the lens because the arrow is outside the focal point. The image will be outside of F2, like the arrow is outside of F1.

Explanation:

Due to the shape of the lens in the diagram, you can imagine 3 lines branching out from point Q. I've made a digital sketch about what will happen as they pass through. It's a little crude, but it still works. I hope this was helpful.

The three principal rays intersect at the right side of the convergent lens.

To find the answer, we need to know about the trace of the principal rays.

What are the three principal rays?

The three principal rays are as follows

A ray parallel to the axis
A ray passes through the pole of the convergent lens
A ray passes through the focus at the left side of the lens

All the above rays are drawn from the tip of the pointed arrow.

What will be the nature of the three principal rays after passing through the convergent lens?

The ray that is parallel to the axis, moves through the focus that present on the right of lens after passing through the lens.
The ray that passes through the pole of the lens moves without deviation.
The ray that passes through the left focus moves parallel to the axis after passing through the lens.
All these three rays meet at a certain point where the image is formed.

Thus, we can conclude that the three principal rays intersect at the right side of the convergent lens.
