Question 14 • Physics

Which statement describes characteristics of a concave lens?

Answer
A
A concave lens converges light and curves inward.
B
A concave lens diverges light and curves inward.
C
A concave lens diverges light and curves outward.
D
A concave lens converges light and curves outward.

Explanation

A concave lens is thinner in the middle than at the edges, so its surfaces curve inward. It spreads parallel light rays apart, which means it diverges light; therefore, the correct choice is “A concave lens diverges light and curves inward.”
