Question

which statement describes characteristics of a concave lens? a concave lens diverges light and curves inward. a concave lens diverges light and curves outward. a concave lens converges light and curves inward. a concave lens converges light and curves outward.

Explanation:

A concave lens is thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes it to curve inward. This shape causes parallel light rays passing through it to diverge (spread out). In contrast, a convex lens curves outward and converges light. So, the correct description of a concave lens is that it diverges light and curves inward.

Answer:

A. A concave lens diverges light and curves inward.
