Give scientific reason:A concave lens diverges the rays of light falling on it.
Answer»
A concave lens can be regarded as made of a very large number of portions of triangular prisms. The bases of these prisms are towards the edges of the less, i.e, away from the central thinner portion of the lens.
A ray of light passing through a prism bends towards its base. Hence, a concave lens diverges the rays of light falling on it.
