Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following best describes a converging lens?

  1. A lens that is thinner at the centre than at the edges
  2. A lens that is thicker at the centre than at the edges
  3. A lens that bends all light rays away from the principal axis
  4. A lens that produces only virtual images
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BA lens that is thicker at the centre than at the edges
A converging (convex) lens is thicker at the centre than at the edges, which causes parallel light rays to refract and meet at a point called the principal focus. Diverging lenses are thinner at the centre and spread light rays apart.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student uses a converging lens as a magnifying glass. Where must the object be placed for this to work correctly?

  1. Beyond the centre of curvature
  2. At the centre of curvature
  3. At the focal point
  4. Between the focal point and the lens
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DBetween the focal point and the lens
For a converging lens to act as a magnifying glass, the object must be placed between the focal point and the lens. This produces a virtual, upright, and magnified image on the same side as the object. Placing the object at or beyond the focal point produces a real, inverted image instead.

CXC CSEC Physics: Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Converging and Diverging Lenses: Ray Diagrams and Image Formation appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
