What mirrors cause light rays to diverge?
Concave mirrors cause light rays to diverge. This type of mirror is curved inward, which causes parallel light rays to converge and then diverge after reflection, creating a virtual image.
How do lens interact with light?
Lenses interact with light by refracting it, which means bending the light rays as they pass through the lens. This bending of light helps converge or diverge the light rays to form an image, depending on the shape of the lens. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light rays.
What will converge light rays to a single focal point on the specimen?
The condenser-- when answering for a microscope!
How does the curve in a lens cause it to refract light differently from a flat piece of glass?
The curve in a lens causes light rays to either converge or diverge, which leads to refraction. In a convex lens, the curved shape causes the light rays to converge, focusing them to a point. In a concave lens, the light rays diverge, spreading out as they pass through the lens.
Does a convex lens diverge or converge light rays?
A convex lens converges light rays. It refracts incoming parallel rays towards a single point known as the focal point.

What happens to light rays as they pass through lenses?
Light rays passing through lenses are refracted, causing them to change direction and converge or diverge depending on the shape and curvature of the lens. Convex lenses converge light rays, while concave lenses diverge them, allowing for the formation of images. Lens material can also affect the speed of light and how much the light is refracted.
True or false rays reflected from a convex mirror always converge?
False. Rays reflected from a convex mirror do not always converge. In the case of a convex mirror, the reflection causes the rays to diverge away from each other.
When light passes through a lens what of the light is refracted?
When light passes through a lens, both the parallel rays of light and the converging or diverging rays of light are refracted. The refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which helps in focusing the image on the retina.
What happens to the rays in a parallel beam of light?
In a parallel beam of light, the rays stay parallel to each other as they travel through space. This means that they do not converge or diverge, maintaining their original direction.
How do lens affect light?
Lenses are curved pieces of transparent material that refract, or bend, light rays as they pass through. They can converge or diverge light rays, which leads to the formation of images. Convex lenses (thicker in the middle) converge light to a focal point, while concave lenses (thinner in the middle) cause light rays to spread out.
What will light rays that pass through a convex lens do?

What does each concave and convex lens cause light rays to do?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge (come together) after passing through it, while a concave lens causes light rays to diverge (spread apart) after passing through it.
