Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When the ray of light travelling parallel to the principal axis after refraction through the concave lens diverges, and when we produce these rays backwards, they appear to come together at a point known as focus, the lens is said to be acting as a diverging lens because it causes the ray of light to diverge.
● Parallel light beams that strike a convex lens converge as they pass through and[174][175] converge at a point on the other side. The convex lens is referred to as a converging lens because of this.
● When parallel light beams strike a concave lens, they diverge as they travel through the lens and never come together at a single spot. They are known as diverging lenses for this reason.
