- Concave Lens - Definition, Formula, Image Formation & Uses
A concave lens is a lens that diverges a straight light beam from the source to a diminished, upright, virtual image. It can form both real and virtual images. Concave lenses have at least one surface curved inside.

Feb 20, 2022 · Convex (converging) lenses can form either real or virtual images (cases 1 and 2, respectively), whereas concave (diverging) lenses can form only virtual images (always case 3). Real images are always inverted, but they can be either larger or smaller than the object.
Learn how concave lenses create divergent light rays and form virtual, upright, and smaller images. Watch a video and see examples, definitions, and comments from other learners.

Concave Lenses: Images. In this section we deal with a very important aspect of concave lenses, namely how and where they form images. First, a concave lens is thinner in the center than it is near the edges as shown in this diagram:
