Properties of Lenses


Now, take a look at the depiction of the diverging lens below! Again your job is to find out about its properties. Check whether the light rays move apart or move together towards one point. Then check whether an image point is created. In this case we only need the parallel ray and the centre ray to find out the properties of diverging lenses. At the bottom, there is, of course, also a question about diverging lenses.


Which of the following is correct?

a) After the light rays have left the lens they move apart in different directions. An image point isn't possible.

b) After the light rays have left the lens they move apart in different directions. There will be an image point and a clear image.

c) After the light rays have left the lens they move together towards one point, as if bundled. An image point isn't possible.

d) After the light rays have left the lens they move together towards one point, as if bundled. There will be an image point and a clear image.
