A diverging lens is a lens that diverges rays of light that are traveling parallel to its principal axis, so diverged light is light that had it's direction altered

Why is a convex mirror sometimes called a diverging mirror?
Wherever the source of light is, after reflection by the surface of a convex mirror the rays would go always diverged. Hence the name "diverging mirror"
What are virtual and real images and what is the difference between them?
Here we have to note down an interesting point. If we have a source of light, then the rays starting right from the source would be diverging definitely. Hence if the rays coming from a source is of diverging type then the source is a real one. If otherwise the rays assumed coming from a source is converging type then we can declare that the source would be a virtual one. Same manner to form an image on a screen the rays have to converge. So converging rays would give definitely a real image. If the rays which are destined to give an image are of diverging type then the image must be termed as virtual. To get the position of the virtual image we have to extend back the rays so as they meet at a point and we say that the rays appear to diverge from that point hence named as virtual image. Thus we generalize this way. In case of source if rays are of diverging then source is real, if converging then source is virtual. In case of image formation, if rays are converging then real image and if diverging then virtual image. This is the cute point to be realized and to be taught to the students of this generation.
Which lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never converge?
diverging
A diverging lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never:?
converge
What is the difference between converging and diverging beam of light?
diverging beam of light means the rays which are spreading more away from each other on drawing further but the converging beam of light come closer to each other on drawing further.

Which lens has the least effect on light rays?
Lens exists in two forms, diverging, or converging. They affect light rays equally, but in contrasting manners.
Which lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never converge?
diverging
A diverging lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never:?
converge
The function of the lens is to?
The function of lens is to to form an image of an object by converging or diverging rays of light from the object.
A diverging lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never do what?
Converges (APEX)
What is the difference between converging and diverging beam of light?
diverging beam of light means the rays which are spreading more away from each other on drawing further but the converging beam of light come closer to each other on drawing further.
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
What happen when light rays hit the smooth surface?
All the rays of light will be reflected to the source
Is ultraviolet a source of light?
Yes U.V. rays are a source of light they are what we use sunscreen for
Why are the light rays coming from a distant object are assumed to be parallel?
Instead of parallel rays, consider the light as a wave front. It leaves the source in a spherical wavefront. At a certain distance the sphere is so large and the curvature of the wavefront becomes so small that it can be considered locally flat, and behaves optically as though it were flat. At that point, the flat wave front is equivalent to parallel rays (which are perpendicular to the front).
