In optics, the term "pencil" refers to a narrow beam of light rays that are closely parallel to each other as they travel through space or an optical system. This concept is often used when discussing the behavior of light as it passes through lenses and mirrors. A pencil of light can be visualized as a collection of rays that originate from a point source and are directed into a narrow spread, maintaining a relatively uniform direction as they propagate.
