A schematic diagram on a white background showing a vertical thin converging lens centered at the origin of a two-dimensional coordinate system. A horizontal dashed line extends along the x-axis to represent the principal axis of the lens. The lens is depicted as a vertical line segment with small outward-pointing arrowheads at both top and bottom ends, labeled 'Thin lens'. A single straight solid line with an arrowhead along it representing an incident light ray originates in the upper-left quadrant and points directly toward the center point where the vertical lens intersects the horizontal principal axis. The incident ray forms an angle \(\theta\) with the principal axis. No rays, lines, or labels appear to the right of the vertical lens. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Incident ray directed at the optical center of a thin converging lens.
A ray of light traveling in air is directed toward the optical center of a thin converging lens at an angle relative to the principal axis, as shown. Which of the following claims correctly describes the trajectory of the light ray after emerging from the lens and provides a correct physical justification?
