2. How can a plane mirror, concave mirror, convex mirror, converging lens

and/or diverging lens be used to produce a magnified image? Plane mirrors, convex mirrors, and diverging lenses will never do this. ... Plane mirrors, convex mirrors, and diverging lenses will always produce an upright image.

Is a magnifying glass a diverging lens?

The Physics of Magnifying Glasses

It is the opposite of concave, or curved inward. A lens is something that allows light rays to pass through it and bends, or refracts, them as they do so. A magnifying glass uses a convex lens because these lenses cause light rays to converge, or come together.

Does a concave lens magnify or reduce?

Summary: Convex lenses can form magnified or minified inverted real images, or magnified right-side-up virtual images. Concave lenses can only produce minified, right-side-up virtual images.
