Question
A beam of light is incident through the holes on one side of a box and emerges out through the holes on its opposite side as shown in the following figure:
The box contains:
(a) a glass prism
(b) a concave lens
(c) a convex lens
(d) a parallel-sided glass slab
Solution
a concave lens
This is because the emergent rays of light are diverging.
