8.

A ____ lens is sometimes called a converging lens because it_____.

a)

convex; makes parallel light rays curve outward or diverge

b)

concave; makes parallel light rays travel at a faster speed than before they encountered the lens

c)

convex, makes parallel light rays passing through it bend inward and meet (converge) at a spot just beyond the lens known as the focal point.

d)

concave; makes parallel light rays passing through it bend inward and meet (converge) at a spot just beyond the lend known as the focal point.
