Question 17 • Physics

Which statement describes characteristics of a convex lens?

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

Explanation

A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges, so its surfaces curve outward. It refracts parallel light rays toward one another, meaning it converges light. Therefore, the correct statement is “A convex lens converges light and curves outward.”
