it will always create a virtual image because when you extend its light rays, they diverge and never end up intersecting. But if you extend these light ray backwards, they intersect to create a upright image which will always be virtual
Virtual image
Definitely Virtual Image
A diverging lens can only produce a virtual image, because the light passing through a diverging lens never converges to a point. The virtual image produced by a diverging lens is always right-side-up and smaller than the original object. The image and the object viewed are always on the same side of the lens. Diverging lenses are used as viewfinders in cameras.
No, it is not possible for a diverging or a concave lens to form a real image. It always forms virtual and erect image
If a single lens forms a virtual image of an object, thenthe lens could be either a diverging or a converging lens.Which statement about a single thin lens is correctA diverging lens always produces a virtual upright image.

Converges (APEX)
Concave lens (diverging) produces an upright image that is virtual. Although to create a real upright image would require 2 convex (converging) lens with a distance of their respective focal lengths between them.
diverging
converge
Image formed by a concave lens or a diverging lens is virtual,upright and smaller than the object.It is used by short sighted people.
Convex lens is a converging lens It makes the image real and inverted whereas concave lens is a diverging lens it makes the image virtual and erect.
converging lens show virtual and real images while diverging shows virtual images.
If the lens equation yields a negative image distance, then the image is a virtual image on the same side of the lens as the object. If it yields a negative focal length, then the lens is a diverging lens rather than the converging lens in the illustration.
