The images formed by diverging (concave) lenses are always: (select all that apply.)

real
virtual
erect
inverted
magnified
diminished

virtual

erect

diminished

Explanation:

The characteristics of images of diverging lenses are:

1) They are always virtual (appear on the same side of the lens as the object)

2) they are always upright (do not invert as happens with converging lenses), and

3) They are always smaller than the object.

These statements run true for the object located at any distance from the lens, and can be easily verified as true by doing the geometrical trajectory of rays that come parallel to the optical axis and get deflected outwards following the direction of the focus.
