Concave lenses would have only diverging action. So parallel beam of light after passing through a concave lens have to go diverged. Only converging waves could produce a real image on a screen. But diverging rays cannot meet at a point and so they appear to come from a point and hence that point is taken to be the virtual image

What kind of lens can be used to produce a virtual image?

Convex lens produces both real and virtual images. But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.


What is the property of image formed by concave lens?

Image formed by a concave lens or a diverging lens is virtual,upright and smaller than the object.It is used by short sighted people.


How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


Does a concave lens always produce a virtual image?

No, a concave lens can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object location relative to the lens. If the object is located within the focal point of the concave lens, a virtual image will be produced. If the object is located beyond the focal point, a real image will be formed.


Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?

A concave mirror has a virtual focus. This is because the rays of light that are incident on a concave mirror are reflected and appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, creating a virtual focus.


Name the lens that always forms virtual image?

A diverging lens, also known as a concave lens, always forms virtual images. This type of lens diverges incoming light rays, causing them to appear to originate from a point behind the lens, resulting in the formation of a virtual image.


What types of images does a concave lens form?

A virtual image.


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.


What is concave lens?

Which type of image does a concave lens form?

Cancave lens always gives virtual, erect and diminished image.


Does a concave lens form a real or virtual image?

A concave lens forms a virtual image of an object located at a distance greater than the focal length of the lens. The image is always upright and reduced in size compared to the object.


Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through the focal point?

The tendency in case of concave lens would be diverging one. When parallel rays fall one side of the concave lens then due to divergence they appear to come, note down that "they appear to come" from a point on the same side. And this point is named as the virtual focus of the concave lens. Now as a ray passes through this virtual focal point that will be definitely a diverging one. Now due to diverging action of the lens, that ray will be further diverged and that will appear to come from a virtual point on the same side and some what nearer to the concave lens. Hence the image will be virtual and diminished and erect one.
