What happen to the light rays after passing through a diverging lens?

Sagot :

[tex]\underline{\underline{\large{\orange{\cal{EXPLANATION:}}}}}[/tex]

Light rays diverge; that is, they spread after passing through a diverging lens. Unlike converging lenses that focus light rays on a single point, diverging lenses bend the rays around each other.



Parallel rays: When parallel rays enter a diverging lens, they bend and spread further apart as they exit the lens. Imagine spreading your fingers apart without pointing them together.

Non-parallel rays: Light rays that are not parallel to the axis of the lens (the imaginary line passing through the center) also diverge, but the direction of curvature depends on whether they enter toward or away from the focal point of the lens.



[tex]\implies[/tex] In all cases, the diverging lens makes the light rays appear to originate from a point on the same side of the lens but opposite the actual focal point. This creates a virtual image, which cannot be projected onto a screen but can be observed through the lens.



Final Answer:

Passing through a diverging lens, light rays separate and diverge away from each other, creating a virtual image on the side opposite the focal point.
