Difference between converging rays and perging rays.

Converging rays are the rays that meet at a point to form the image whereas diverging rays are those rays that scatter away and do not form any image.

When a beam of light fell on the curved surface of a convex lens, all the rays come closer and meet at a point on the principal axis of the curved surface and forms an image at that point.

On the other hand, when a beam of light fell on the curved surface of a concave lens, all the rays scatter away and don't meet at any point and thus forms no image.
