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.

What mirror is used in a magnifying mirror?

we can use convex lens(having tapered ends) for that. but the magnifying capability depends on the power the lens. A magnifying glass works by creating a magnified virtual image of an object behind the lens. The distance between the lens and the object must be shorter than the focal lenght of the lens for this to occur. Otherwise, the image appears smaller and inverted, and can be used to project images onto surfaces.


How to use a magnifying glass effectively for reading small print?
