Distinguish between a converging lens and a diverging lens. (Choose the correct answer.)

Converging lenses make images smaller, whereas diverging lenses make images larger.

Converging lenses always make virtual images, whereas diverging lenses always make real images.

When two parallel rays of light pass through a converging lens, the rays bend towards each other. When they pass through a diverging lens, the rays move apart from each other.

When the thickness of the glass in a lens converges toward the center of the lens, so that it is thinnest in the center, it is a converging lens. When it is fatter in the middle, it is a diverging lens.
