A student obtained a clear image of window bars on a screen with the help of a convex lens. But in order to have the best image, his teacher suggested him to obtain the image of a distant tree. Where will the lens has to be moved in order to obtain a clear image?

In an optics experiment, with the position of the object fixed, a student varies the position of a convex lens and for each position, the screen is adjusted to get a clear image of the object. A graph between the object distance u and the image distance v, from the lens, is plitted using the same scale for the two axes. A straight line passing through the origin and making an angle of 45^circ with x-axis meets the experimental curve at P. The coordinates of P will be.

Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?
