Which is the principal focal (convergence) point?

Many rays of light reflect off every point of an object, but which is the principal focal (convergence) point?

Again we emphasise that the principal focal (convergence) point is where light that passes parallel to the principal axis and through the convex lens crosses the principal axis. No other rays matter.
