Question

Can a diverging lens be used as a magnifying glass? Explain. (select all that apply.)a. Yes, when it causes rays to converge so that the rays traced backward form a larger image.b. Yes, by holding it close to the object so that hte rays on the backside of the lens converge.c. No. The diverging rays always lead to an image smaller than the object.d. Yes, by holding it far from the object so that hte rays on the backside of the lens converge.

Answer 1

No. The diverging rays always lead to an image smaller than the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

A diverging lens always forms imaginary and smaller sized image no matter where ever an object is placed when it is used independently . It can only reduce the size of the image , so it can not be used as magnifying glass .
