Answer 1

Here is the correct matching of prisms and lenses with their purpose and uses:

1. Prism:

   • Purpose: Separates white light into different colors.

2. Convex lens:

   • Purpose: Thicker at the center, causes light to bend inward, or converge.
   • Used in: Tools like telescopes and microscopes.

3. Concave lens:

   • Purpose: Surface curved like the inner surface of a sphere, causes light to bend outward, or diverge.

4. Concave and convex lenses:

   • Used in: Tools like telescopes and microscopes (both concave and convex lenses are utilized in these instruments).

If you want a more simplified structure:

• Prism → Separates white light into different colors.
• Convex lens → Thicker at the center, converges light.
• Concave lens → Curved inward, diverges light.
• Concave and convex lenses → Used in tools like telescopes and microscopes.
