A diverging lens can only produce a virtual image, because the light passing through a diverging lens never converges to a point. The virtual image produced by a diverging lens is always right-side-up and smaller than the original object. The image and the object viewed are always on the same side of the lens. Diverging lenses are used as viewfinders in cameras.

No, it is not possible for a diverging or a concave lens to form a real image. It always forms virtual and erect image
If a single lens forms a virtual image of an object, thenthe lens could be either a diverging or a converging lens.Which statement about a single thin lens is correctA diverging lens always produces a virtual upright image.

False
The function of lens is to to form an image of an object by converging or diverging rays of light from the object.
Convex lens is a converging lens It makes the image real and inverted whereas concave lens is a diverging lens it makes the image virtual and erect.
Never. Since the rays coming from a real object will always be diverging. The action of a concave lens is diverging action. Hence the already diverged rays will be dirverged further. Hence no chance of convergence. Only converging rays would form a real image. Hence the answer, NEVER.
If the lens equation yields a negative image distance, then the image is a virtual image on the same side of the lens as the object. If it yields a negative focal length, then the lens is a diverging lens rather than the converging lens in the illustration.
Because the light rays never meet, a concave lens can produce only a virtual image.
