Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • Lenses are of two types converging and diverging. The light gets refracted through a lens.

 

  • A converging lens is capable of converging the light rays that fall on it to a point. It is also known as a convex lens.

 

  • A diverging lens will diverge all the rays that fall on it and is called a concave lens.
