Question

Is it possible to form a real image using a combination of concave/diverging lenses?  Support your answer with a solution.

vincent-lyon.fr · Answer

For any system to form a real image, you need a  ..........  beam.

How can you achieve one with a diverging lens?

anonymous · Answer

I don't really know how. Could you please help me?

vincent-lyon.fr · Answer

Can you draw the beam/rays forming that real image?
What can you say about it/them?

anonymous · Answer

Do the rays converge at some point?

vincent-lyon.fr · Answer

Exactly, so you need a converging set of rays.
How can you obtain that with a diverging lens?

anonymous · Answer

The image will form between the ray and the lens?

vincent-lyon.fr · Answer

This sentence reveals a confusion: the image IS the intersect of rays.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, so how do diverging lens form a real image? or they don't produce a real image?

vincent-lyon.fr · Answer

Can you use "Reply using drawing"  and add the rays to the sketch I did above?
