A converging lens is a lens that is thicker at the center than at the edges and converges incoming light rays, while a diverging lens is a lens that is thinner at the center than at the edges and diverges incoming light rays. A converging lens can form real or virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the lens, while a diverging lens always forms virtual images.\n
What is the difference between a converging and a diverging lens?
