Question

Which statement describes characteristics of a concave lens? A concave lens diverges light and curves inward. A concave lens diverges light and curves outward. A concave lens converges light and curves inward. A concave lens converges light and curves outward.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the characteristics of a concave lens is the first choice where in they diverges light and even curves inward because the light that passes through it are being spread out in means of having to view an object in a smaller view.

Answer 2

The correct answer is

A concave lens diverges light and curves inward.

A picture of a concave lens and the ray diagram produced by it can be seen in attachment. As it can observed, the concave lens (also called diverging lens) is wider at the edges and narrow at the centre (so, it curves inward), and it can also be seen that the lens diverges the incoming light rays.
