Question

Harold and Kumar find a plastic lens on the beach. The boys are trying to decide if this is a converging lens or a diverging lens. They notice when they look through the lens, the images are inverted. Is this lens converging or diverging?
How do you know?

Answer 1

Based on the fact that converging lens produce both inverted and upright images while diverging lenses only produce upright images, the lens is a converging lens since the image produced is inverted.

What are lenses?

Lenses are portions of transparent media bounded by at least one spherical surface.

There are two types of lenses, namely:

• convex or converging lenses
• concave or diverging lenses

Images produced by diverging lenses are always diminished and upright images.

Images produced by converging lenses can either be upright or inverted.

Since the images produced by the lens are inverted, the lens is a converging lens.
