Converge means coming together or meeting at a common point, while diverge means branching off or moving apart in different directions. In mathematical terms, if a sequence or series of values approaches a specific number as they progress, they are said to converge. On the other hand, if the values in a sequence or series move further apart or do not approach a specific number, they are said to diverge.

Define power of the lens?

It is the ability of a lens to converge or diverge a ray of light.


Do Light Rays converge or diverge?

Light rays can converge or diverge based on the type of lens or mirror they pass through. Converging lenses and concave mirrors cause light rays to converge, focusing them at a single point known as the focal point. Diverging lenses and convex mirrors cause light rays to diverge, spreading them out.


Why are lenses and mirrors used in optical tools?

Because they converge, diverge and reflect light.

Converge, Diverge, Submerge, Emerge.


True or false rays reflected from a convex mirror always converge?

False. Rays reflected from a convex mirror do not always converge. In the case of a convex mirror, the reflection causes the rays to diverge away from each other.


Do negative lenses diverge?

Actually the negative lens just sits there. It causes a parallel beam of light to diverge. It causes a convergent beam to converge less. It causes a divergent beam to diverge more.


What role does the lens play?

The role of a lens is to converge and or diverge light depending on the shape of the lens.


Does the series sigma evaluated from n equals 1 to infinity of 1 over n times the quantity the natural log of n squared converge or diverge?

Diverge!


What mirrors cause light rays to diverge?

Concave mirrors cause light rays to diverge. This type of mirror is curved inward, which causes parallel light rays to converge and then diverge after reflection, creating a virtual image.


What will converge light rays to a single focal point on the specimen?

A concave lens will diverge light rays, causing them to converge at a single focal point on the specimen.
