Image Formation by Lenses

A single lens...

Question

A single lens is mounted in a tube. A parallel beam enters the tube and emerges out of the tube as a divergent beam. Can you say with certainty that there is a diverging lens in the tube?

Solution

Yes, we can say so with certainty, as only a diverging lens can cause a parallel beam of light to diverge.
