WHEN A PARALLEL RAYS ARE INCIDENT ON A CONVERGING LENSE THEN THEY CONVERGE TO A FOCAL POINT .IT IS ALSO CALLED POSITIVE LENSE.IT IS CALLED CONVERGING LENSE BECAUSE RAYS ARE CONVERGE FROM THIS LENSE.

parallel rays are incident on a lense the rays are converging to a focal point this type of lense is called converging lense it is also called positive lense.the rays are converging from this lense that’s why it is called converging lense

A lense that causes parallel rays to come to a focus is called the converging lens.A converging lens is used in refracting telescope to focus the image.

Converging lens is also known as convex lens.It is curved on both sides.the light rays are coming out of focal points.then this is called coverging lens

converging means all rays passing through one point in lence case parellel rays passing through focal point

A Converging lens is curved on both sides.this means the light rays coming out of it come together at point-they converge.The point at which the light rays meet is called the focal point.
A converging lens is used in refracting telescope to focus the image. the rays are converging from this lense that’s why it is called converging lense.

hellow kumar the light waves coming out from focal point.it curved on both sides.then this is called converging lens this is also known as convex lens.

CONVERGING LENSE MEANS ALL RAYS PASSING THTOUGH A SINGLE POINT OR MEET WITH A ONE POINT.DUE IT’S CHARACTER IT IS CALLED CONVERGING LENGTH.

dear kumar.............
            A lens is a transmissive optical device that affects the focus of a light beam through refraction. .... In this case, the lens is called a positive or converging lens….….….
