A convex lens is also called a:
AConverging lens
BDiverging lens
CFlat lens
DMirror lens
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Converging lens
1. A convex lens is thicker in the middle.
2. Parallel rays after passing through it converge to a real focus.
3. Hence it is called a converging lens.
4. A concave lens diverges rays.
