A convex lens can act as a diverging lens when the object is placed very close to the lens, inside its focal length. In this situation, the light rays diverge after passing through the lens, causing the image to appear virtual and upright.

Is it convex lens always act as converging lens explain?

No, convex lenses can act as either converging or diverging lenses depending on the curvature of the surfaces. A convex lens will act as a converging lens when the surfaces are curved in such a way that they cause light rays to converge, while it will act as a diverging lens when the surfaces are curved differently to cause light rays to diverge.


When does a convex lens act as a diverging lens?

A convex lens acts as a diverging lens when the light passing through it diverges rather than converges. This typically occurs when the object is located very close to the lens or when the light rays are not parallel to begin with.


Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.


What is Another name of convex and concave lens?

A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging lens.


Does water act as a concave or convex lens?

Water can act as a concave or convex lens, depending on the shape of the water surface and its curvature. When the water surface is bulging outward, it acts as a convex lens, focusing light rays. On the other hand, when the water surface is curved inward, it acts as a concave lens, diverging light rays.


What is another name for a convex lens?

Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively


An air bubble in water will act like concave or convex lens?

An air bubble in water will act like a concave lens. This is because the diverging effect on light rays passing through the air-water interface creates a virtual focus point on the opposite side of the bubble, similar to a concave lens.


When does a concave lens act as convex lens?

A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .


When does convex lens behave as diverging lens?

A convex lens will behave as a diverging lens when an object is placed closer to the lens than its focal length. In this case, the light rays will diverge instead of converging, leading to a virtual image formed on the same side as the object.


Which type of mirror is most similar to a convex lens?

A convex mirror is most similar to a diverging lens. Both surfaces curve outward and cause light rays to diverge.


Which lens is a converging lens a double-convex lens or a spherical-convex lens or a plano-concave lens or a convexo-concave lens?

Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.


If the image produced by a lens is the same size as the object then the lens must be?

A diverging lens. In this case, the object distance will be equal to the image distance but with opposite sign.
