A student is creating a model of a concave lens. The diagram shows her incomplete model.
Which action would best complete her model?
A.
The student should draw the light moving into the lens and then exiting in converging lines.
B.
The student should draw the rays of light moving into the lens and then exiting at right angles.
C.
The student should draw the rays of light moving into the lens and then exiting in a straight path.
D.
The student should draw the light moving into the lens and then exiting in lines that are spreading out.

To complete the model of a concave lens, the best action would be:
D. The student should draw the light moving into the lens and then exiting in lines that are spreading out.
Concave lenses diverge light rays, causing them to spread out. The rays entering the lens will continue to diverge as they exit, which is characteristic behavior of concave lenses.
