A converging lens bends all rays of light parallel to the principal axis (the axis of symmetry of the lens) in such a way that they
converge at a single point referred to as the focus. The lens also takes the light emerging from one point and focuses that light to a point on the other side of the lens. This then provides the surprising and technologically vital
property of image formation in lenses. In this chapter, a broken lens is used to find a description of the resulting light pattern.
