Solution

The device that can make a parallel beam of light when light from a point source is incident on it is a Collimating lens.

Here are the steps explaining how it works:

  1. A point source of light emits light in all directions.
  2. When this light is incident on a collimating lens, the lens only allows light rays that are parallel to its axis to pass through.
  3. The lens refracts the incoming light rays and aligns them to be parallel to each other.
  4. The result is a parallel beam of light exiting the lens.

So, a collimating lens can convert light from a point source into a parallel beam of light.
