Question

explain why convex lens is called converging lens and concave lens is called diverging lens.

Answer 1

in convex lens when the two parallel Ray of light bisect the convex lens and it reflect and goes and bisect each other at a place so it is known as converging lens and in the concave lens the same parallel Ray of light go and bisect the lens and goes diverge without meeting at a single place then it is called

Answer 2

hey!!

here is ur answer!!

============================================================

CONVERGING OR CONVEX LENS :

A convex lens is thick in its middle and thin at the periphery.In other words ,a lens which bulges out in the middle,is the convex lens..

A light beam while passing through it converges therefore it is also called the converging lens..

DIVERGING OR CONCAVE LENS :

A concave lens is thick at its periphery and thin in the middle.In other words a lens which is bent inwards in the middle,is known as concave lens..

This lens diverges the light rays incident on it,and therefore it is also known as diverging lens..
