Why diverging lens cannot be used as magnifying glass?
a diverging lens can not be used as a magnifying glass becuase a diverging lens( concave) lens diverges the the rays cousing the image to not be erect, but upside down. While magnifying glass ( convex) is used as it is a converging lens which focuses the rays in one point of an objects making it magnifies and erect.( right way up)
How does a reverse magnifying glass work and what is its purpose?
A reverse magnifying glass, also known as a concave lens, works by diverging light rays instead of converging them like a regular magnifying glass. This causes objects viewed through the lens to appear smaller and farther away. The purpose of a reverse magnifying glass is to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness by helping the eye focus light properly onto the retina.
What is the difference between converging lens and diverging lens?
A converging lens causes parallel light rays to converge to a focal point, while a diverging lens causes parallel light rays to diverge away from a focal point. Converging lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while diverging lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.
What are examples of a converging lens?
Examples of converging lenses include the lens in a magnifying glass, a camera lens, and corrective lenses for nearsightedness. These lenses are thicker in the middle and cause incoming light rays to converge to a focal point.
Why magnifying glass can burn paper?
A magnifying glass can burn paper by concentrating sunlight onto a small area, causing it to reach high temperatures. The lens of the magnifying glass acts as a converging lens, focusing the sunlight into a small, intense spot that can generate enough heat to ignite the paper.
A magnifying glass is an example of?
converging lens.
A magnifying glass is also called what?
The answer is both convex and converging
What is the name for the glass in a magnifying glass?
a lens..a converging lens to be exact

What is converging lens?
A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.

When a converging lens is used as a magnifying glass the image produced is?
virtual, upright, and larger than the object being viewed.
