I want to apply solar flux on a tube using a lens which is embedded on to a glass plate, if I apply flux to the glass surface will it refract and converge to a point on the surface of the tube?

The pipe is at the focus of the lens.

Hi Deepyaman,
Are you sure that you have asked your question in a right place? Anyway, why a flat glass should make sun rays convergent to a point?!
