Question 6 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Where is the focal point for a concave lens located?

Answer
A
in the center of the lens
B
on the same side of the lens as the light source or object
C
on the opposite side of the lens from the light source or object

Explanation

A concave lens spreads incoming parallel light rays apart, so the rays appear to come from a point on the same side of the lens as the light source or object. This is a virtual focal point, making B, “on the same side of the lens as the light source or object,” correct.
