Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A concave lens is thinner at the inside and thicker at the outer ends of the lens. It is called a diverging lens.

A convex lens is thicker at the inside and thinner at the outer ends of the lens. It is called as converging lens.

Light rays passing through a concave lens can be sketched as follows:

Light rays passing through a convex lens can be sketched as follows:

  Glencoe Physical Science 2012 Student Edition (Glencoe Science) (McGraw-Hill Education), Chapter 13.2, Problem 7R , additional homework tip  2

Conclusion:

Hence, the light rays can be sketched differently for both concave and convex mirrors as shown in the diagrams.
