Converging. Think of burning ants with a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass is thicker in the middle and it makes the sun's light converge on the ants.

Are concave lenses converging or diverging?
Diverging
Do ray diagrams apply to converging lenses and diverging?
Yes
What is different between converging and diverging lenses used in microscopes?
because they are
What are diverging and converging lenses?
Lenses enable individuals to view objects. A Converging lens has a positive focal length, which facilitates the convergence of the exiting rays. While, diverging lenses have a negative focal length, which facilitates the divergence of the exiting rays.
How are nearsightedness and farsightedness corrected?
We use corrective lenses in spectacles. Near sight is corrected with diverging lenses and far sightedness with converging lenses.
Is 2 diopters a positive power?
If it is written as +2 Diopters it is positive, ie a converging lens. If it is written as -2 Diopters it is negative, ie a diverging lens. Diverging lenses are prescribed for myopia, or short-sightedness. Converging lenses are prescribed for hypermetropia or long-sightedness.
Which of the following is accurate in describing converging and diverging lenses?
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.
Does a camera use a diverging lens?
All cameras have converging lenses instead of diverging because they need a real image and not a virtual one to capture a photo.
What is another name for a convex lens?
Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively
What type of lens always produces smaller images?
Concave D. Diverging
What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?
A convex lens.
Why is a concave lens called a divergent lens?
A convex lens is wider at the edges than it is in the center. Therefore, it is a converging lens.
