Question

Which of the following statements is true?

• A. Concave lenses are also called converging lenses.
• B. Concave lenses can both converge and diverge the rays falling on them.
• C. Convex lenses are also called converging lenses.
• D. Convex lenses are also called diverging lenses.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Convex lenses are also called converging lenses.

Convex lenses converge light rays and hence, they are also called converging lenses. Similarly, concave lenses diverge light rays falling on them and hence are also called diverging lenses.
