Converging lenses are lenses which converge the light rays coming towards them, whereas diverging lenses are lenses which diverge the rays coming towards them.
Converging lenses form a real image, whereas diverging lenses form a virtual image. Converging lenses are also known as convex lenses and diverging lenses are also known as concave lenses.
