SPM Physics: AHA! Concave Lens = Diverging Lens

 


Why does a concave lens spread out light rays? The answer lies in its shape and optical behavior:

  • Thinner at the centre, thicker at the edges.

  • Parallel rays entering the lens are refracted away from the principal axis.

  • The rays appear to diverge from a virtual focal point.

Exam tip: don’t just memorize “concave lens.” Write the scoring clue: parallel rays diverge after refraction. That’s the keyword examiners look for.

AHA! Concave lens spreads light. Not by sight, but by INSIGHT!
