Which of the following is accurate in describing converging and diverging lenses?

ABoth of these types of lenses have the ability to produce real images.
BBoth of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.
CDiverging lenses will produce images behind the lens, and converging lenses will produce images in front of the lens.
DParallel rays converge into a single point at the focal point of a diverging lens, whereas parallel rays diverge at the focal point of a converging lens and spread out.

Verified Answer :

It's c Diverging lenses will produce images behind the lens, and converging lenses will produce images in front of the lens.

Answer;

Diverging lenses will produce images behind the lens, and converging lenses will produce images in front of the lens.

Explanation;

  • Diverging lenses also known as concave lenses do not produce real images but only produces virtual images that are formed behind the lens. The images produced by a diverging lens will also be upright
  • Converging lenses or convex lenses only produces real images if the object is located beyond the focal length. Convex lenses will only produce upright virtual images when the object is located at the focal point in front of the lens. Therefore, converging lens can form images behind and in front of the lens.
