What is another word for diverging lens?
Pronunciation: [da͡ɪvˈɜːd͡ʒɪŋ lˈɛnz] (IPA) 
A diverging lens is also commonly referred to as a concave lens, negative lens, or scattering lens. These lenses cause light rays to diverge or spread out, making them useful for correcting certain vision problems, such as myopia, or nearsightedness. They are also used in scientific instruments, such as microscopes and telescopes, to produce a magnified image with a wider field of view. Other similar terms that may be used interchangeably include thin lens, plano-concave lens, and divergent lens. Despite the various names, these lenses all share the common property of causing light to spread out rather than converge.
