Question

A converging lens can be defined as ___

A) a lens that causes parallel light rays to bounce off the surface
B) a lens that causes parallel light rays to separate from each other
C) a lens that allows parallel light rays to pass without changing directions
And D) a lens that causes parallel light rays to focus at a specific location

Answer 1

D) a lens that causes parallel light rays to focus at a specific location

Step-by-step explanation:

Lexically, to CONVERGE means to MEET. Converging lens, also known as double convex lens is that which causes rays of parallel light to become focused at a point i.e meet at a specific location.

The parallel rays of light come from different direction but the converging lens is structurally suited to cause them to converge or focus at a point.
