Which statement is characteristic of a concave lens? A) It is made of opaque material. B) It bends light rays outward. C) It reflects most light. D) It is thickest in the middle.

Lars:

I think it's either D or B but I'm unsure.

Arizona:

Yes u r correct with the first choice u said

K1NGofPadlet:

Wrong

K1NGofPadlet:

The characteristic of a concave lens is that it bends light rays outward. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Not

Lars:

Why do you think it's D? Just curious.

If you do D, you'll catch an L. If you want to pass your test or whatever it is, you should do B. I'm quite experienced in this area.

because it is normally the thickest

Sorry I screwed up. It was the answer to another question my man. D is actually the correct statement for a concave lens. A) is an incorrect statement because a lens is made of transparent material. A concave lens can be made of glass, plastic or other transparent materials. B) is an incorrect statement because a concave lens bends light rays inward, which causes the rays to diverge. C) is also an incorrect statement because a concave lens actually transmits most of the light but refracts it in a certain way. Therefore, D is the correct statement that describes a concave lens: it is thickest in the middle and thinner towards the edges. That one's on me.

No worries. Thank you both!! :)

Correct answer was B, not D
