Q: What is the nature of the image formed by a concave lens?
Solution: A concave lens always forms a virtual and upright image.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what a concave lens is. A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.
Step 2: Know that when light rays pass through a concave lens, they diverge or spread out.
Step 3: Realize that the image formed by a concave lens cannot be projected onto a screen because it is not real.
Step 4: Learn that the image created by a concave lens appears to be behind the lens when you look through it.
Step 5: Remember that this image is virtual, meaning it cannot be captured on a screen, and it is upright, meaning it is oriented the same way as the object.
