What does a converging lens do to the light rays that pass through it?
AIt spreads them far apart
BIt stops them completely
CIt brings them to one point
DIt changes them to heat
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It brings them to one point
1. A lens is a clear object that bends the light passing through it.
2. A converging lens bends the rays inwards so they meet.
3. When rays are brought to the same point we say the light has been focused.
4. A lens that spread the rays apart would be a diverging lens instead.
