Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.[182][183]
When parallel light beams hit a convex lens, they converge once they've passed through and come together at an easing up on the opposite side. Because of this, the convex lens is referred to as a converging lens. A convex lens or converging lens concentrates light rays at a certain spot, whereas a concave lens or diverging lens diverges light rays. A lens is a transparent material with a flat or curved surface according to refraction theory.[184][185]
The correct statement would be, the convex lenses are called [186][187]converging[188][189] lenses[190][191].
