Diverging Lenses _ GCSE Physics

What is the primary function of a diverging lens?

• To create a real image

• To spread light outwards

• To magnify objects

• To focus light into a single point

Which of the following is true about the images formed by diverging lenses?

In a ray diagram for a diverging lens, what happens to a ray that passes through the center of the lens?

• It bends towards the principal axis

• It continues straight without bending

• It reflects back to the object

• It converges at the principal focus

What is the purpose of drawing ray diagrams for lenses?

• To calculate the speed of light

• To measure the size of the lens

• To determine the material of the lens

• To understand how images are formed

Diverging lenses are used to correct which type of vision problem?
