The rays of the sun directly target to any object by the means of a lens; at this time it produces heat many times greater than the scattered rays of the same source of light and heat. This is called true attention or concentration outlook of center point where the sun’s rays fall on the object.

For instance if the rays get scattered on the object, the result would not be same because the rays could not focus its concentration on the object.
