Lenses refract light to form images : a .......... lens can from both real and virtual images, but a diverging lens forms only ......... images.
Converging
lens and diverging lens are one way of classifying lenses based on the behavior
of the light affected by the lenses. A converging lens is a lens that converge
a beam of light to a point whereas diverging lenses make beams of light diverge
from a single point. Converging lens is a type of lens that converge the beams
of light from a source. The most common types of converging lenses are the
Plano-convex and biconvex lenses. Both of these lenses are basic lens elements.
Diverging lens is a type of lens that diverge the beams of light
from a source. For a thin beam of light which is collimated (parallel) and
travelling on the optical axis of the lens, the lens diverge the beam of light
which appears to come out from a point between the lens and the object.
Converging lens converge
light beams from a source whereas diverging lenses diverge light rays from a
source.
Most common types of
converging lenses are Plano-convex, biconvex and positive meniscus lenses.
Most common types of
diverging lenses are Plano-concave negative meniscus and biconcave lenses.
