This means that the light rays spread more out the further away from the source they are.

A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent or less?

A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent. This is because when light rays strike a convex mirror, they will reflect outwards in different directions, causing them to spread out or diverge.


What is the difference between divergent and convergent light rays?

Divergent light rays spread apart as they move away from their source, while convergent light rays come together towards a focal point. Divergent light rays are produced by a light source and can create images that appear smaller or closer, while convergent light rays can create focused images.


Why is a concave lens called a divergent lens?

A concave lens is called a divergent lens because it causes light rays to spread out or diverge as they pass through the lens. This is due to the lens being thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes light rays to refract away from each other.


How do concave lenses bend light rays?

Concave lenses bend light rays outward (diverging) as they pass through, causing the rays to spread apart. This is due to the shape of the lens surface being thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes light rays to diverge.


What part of the eye captures light rays that are reflected off the object being looked at?

The eye does not actively capture the light rays that are reflected off the object being looked at. They pass into the eye through the cornea..


Is the concave lens bends light rays toward the center?

No, concave lenses cause light rays to diverge outward when passing through them. This is due to the lens being thinner at the center than at the edges, causing light rays to spread out.


Are microwave ovens light rays longer or shorter than light rays you can see?

Microwave ovens use longer light rays than the visible light rays we can see. Microwave radiation has a longer wavelength, which allows it to penetrate and heat food without being visible to the human eye.


Can light rays converge?

Yes, light rays can converge when they pass through a converging lens or reflect off a concave mirror. In such cases, the light rays come together at a focal point after being refracted or reflected, forming a real image.


What is light rays coming in called?

Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.


What is the place at which rays of light meet or appear to meet after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens?

The point at which rays of light converge or appear to converge after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens is called the focal point.


A convex mirror will make light rays more what?

"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
