Q4. Explain how to determine whether a lens will be converging or diverging based on the shape/curvature of the lens surfaces.

Solutions

Expert Solution

To determine the converging lens,

if shape of the lens is convex on both side, That lens is called as the converging lens. And this particular type is called as the bi-convex lens.

if shape of the lens is convex on one side and plane on other side that lens is called as the plano convex lens.

if shape of the lens is convex on one side and concave on other side thatt lens is called as the concavo convex lens.

Now, To determine the diverging lens,

if shape of the lens is concave on both side, That lens is called as the diverging lens. And this particular type is called as the bi-concave lens.

if shape of the lens is concave on one side and plane on other side that lens is called as the plano concave lens.

if shape of the lens is concave on one side and convex on other side thatt lens is called as the convexo concave lens.
