Question

In the setup shown in the picture below, the sun rays are focused on a paper by a magnifying glass, which results in the paper catching fire. If the magnifying glass was replaced by a concave lens, the paper does not catch fire. Why?

  1. Concave lenses diverge the sun rays falling on them
  2. The sun rays are not concentrated on the paper at a point
  3. Concave lenses only form virtual images
  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above
