Now with tikz.

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usetikzlibrary{intersections}

\tikzset{
    tips/.style = {
        triangle 45-triangle 45
        , font = \it
    }
}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \pgfmathsetlengthmacro{\a}{5cm}
        \pgfmathsetlengthmacro{\b}{8cm}
        \pgfmathsetlengthmacro{\billedplan}{\a - \b}

        \draw [thick] (-4, 0) -- (4, 0) node [right] {Vannoverflate (linse)};
        \draw [thick, name path = bill] (-4, \billedplan) -- (4, \billedplan) node [below right] {Billedplan};

        \draw [tips] (-4.5, \billedplan) -- (-4.5, \a) node [midway, left] {b};
        \draw [tips] (-3.5, 0) -- (-3.5, \a) node [midway, left] {a};

        \draw[red, thick, domain = -2:2] plot [smooth] (\x,{0.3 * sin(\x * pi  r)});

        \coordinate (ref) at (0.5, \a); 
        \node [right] at (ref) {Lyskilde};

        \coordinate (sin A) at ($(-1.5, 0.3 * sin(-1.5 * pi  r)$);
        \coordinate (aux A) at ($(ref)!1.1 * \b!(sin A)$);

        \coordinate (sin B) at ($(0.5, 0.3 * sin(0.5 * pi  r)$);

        \path [name path = a] (ref) -- (aux A);
        \fill [name intersections = {of= bill and a, by = i}];

        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (i);
        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (-2, 0) -- (i);
        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (-1, 0) -- (i);

        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (0.5, \billedplan);
        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (0, 0) -- (0.5, \billedplan);
        \draw [thick] (ref) -- (1, 0) -- (0.5, \billedplan);

        \path (-1, 0) -- (0, 0) node [midway, above] {$\lambda$};
        \path (i) -- (0.5, \billedplan) node [midway, above] {$\lambda'$};

    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Solution 2

I only know how to do it in tikz:

\draw[x=0.5cm,y=1cm, ultra thick, red] 
        (3,0) sin (4,1) cos (5,0) sin (6,-1) cos (7,0)
              sin (8,1) cos (9,0) sin (10,-1) cos (11,0);

I added tkz-fct. I can add some explanation for the use of xstep and ystep

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tkz-euclide,tkz-fct}
\usetkzobj{all}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\def\a{4} \def\b{2}
\tkzDefPoint(0,0){O}

\tkzDefPoint(0,-\b){B1} \tkzDefPoint(0,\a){B2}
\tkzDefMidPoint(O,B2) \tkzGetPoint{B3}

\tkzDefPoint(1,0){A1}  \tkzDefPoint(1,\a){A2}
\tkzDefMidPoint(A1,A2) \tkzGetPoint{A3}

\tkzDefPoint(0.33,0){C1}  \tkzDefPoint(7,0){C2} 
\tkzDefPoint(0.33,-\b){D1}  \tkzDefPoint(7,-\b){D2} 

\tkzDrawSegments[triangle 45-triangle 45](B1,B2 A1,A2)
\tkzDrawSegments(C1,C2 D1,D2)

\tkzLabelPoint[above left](B3){$b$}
\tkzLabelPoint[above left](A3){$a$}
\tkzLabelPoint[below right](D2){Billedplan}
\tkzLabelPoint[      right](C2){Vannoverflate (linse)}
\tkzInit[xmax=22,xstep=4,ymin=-5,ymax=20,ystep=2]   
\tkzFct[ultra thick,color=red,domain=2*pi:6*pi]{sin(\x)}
\tkzDefPoint(10,8){Lys} 
\tkzDefPoint(2*pi,sin(2*pi)){I1}
\tkzDefPoint(2.5*pi,sin(2.5*pi)){I2} 
\tkzDefPoint(3*pi,sin(3*pi)){I3}
\tkzDefPoint(4*pi,sin(4*pi)){I4}
\tkzDefPoint(4.5*pi,sin(4.5*pi)){I5} 
\tkzDefPoint(5*pi,sin(5*pi)){I6} 
\tkzDrawSegments(Lys,I1 Lys,I2 Lys,I3 Lys,I4 Lys,I5 Lys,I6)
\tkzInterLL(Lys,I2)(D1,D2)
\tkzDrawSegments(tkzPointResult,I1 tkzPointResult,I2 tkzPointResult,I3) 
\tkzInterLL(Lys,I5)(D1,D2)
\tkzDrawSegments(tkzPointResult,I4 tkzPointResult,I5 tkzPointResult,I6)

    I am trying to recreate the following image

    The correct image

    and so far I have this

    My attempt so far

    My problem however is how to plot a sine curve, and get the distances right (related to the sine curve). I am sure my code could be improved, like using pure tikz instead of tkz-euclide, but I have only learned how to use the latter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
    \usepackage{pgfplots,tikz,tkz-euclide}
    \usetkzobj{all}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
    \def\a{4} \def\b{2}
    \tkzDefPoint(0,0){O}
    
    \tkzDefPoint(0,-\b){B1} \tkzDefPoint(0,\a){B2}
    \tkzDefMidPoint(O,B2) \tkzGetPoint{B3}
    
    \tkzDefPoint(1,0){A1}  \tkzDefPoint(1,\a){A2}
     \tkzDefMidPoint(A1,A2) \tkzGetPoint{A3}
    
    \tkzDefPoint(0.33,0){C1}  \tkzDefPoint(7,0){C2} 
    \tkzDefPoint(0.33,-\b){D1}  \tkzDefPoint(7,-\b){D2} 
    
    
    \tkzDrawSegments[triangle 45-triangle 45](B1,B2 A1,A2)
    \tkzDrawSegments(C1,C2 D1,D2)
    
    \tkzLabelPoint[above left](B3){$b$}
    \tkzLabelPoint[above left](A3){$a$}
    \tkzLabelPoint[below right](D2){Billedplan}
    \tkzLabelPoint[      right](C2){Vannoverflate (linse)}
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \end{document}
    

    And here is my MWE

    @ガベージコレクタ, how did you get this png with better quality?

    I used ImageMagick.

    @tcpaiva I am using the code \draw[red, thick, domain = -2:2] plot [smooth] (\x,{0.3 * sin(\x * pi r)}); to draw a sine wave. I am not able to figure out how to fix the no of waves. For the above code two waves will be drawn. Can you please tell how to draw a single wave with the above code?

    @Aim If I understand your question correctly, I believe you can change the domain accordingly, for instance domain = -1:1.
