Given:

Some uses of the lens

To find:

Which one is the application of a concave lens

Step-by-step explanation:

A Convex lens can produce both the magnified and the diminished image of an object depending upon the distance of the object.

The concave lens always produces a diminished and virtual image of larger objects (real) for any distance of the object.

Hence, convex lenses can be used in microscopes and telescopes.

Hence, the concave lens can be used as a wide-angle lens as it can produce a diminished image of a larger area.
