Concave lenses are used on flashlights to magnify the light produced by the bulb. The light falls on the concave side of the lens, and the rays diverge on the other side, thereby increasing the apparent radius of the light source and providing a wider beam.


Convex lenses have a significant drawback when used in optical applications like binoculars and telescopes. Light is often passed through a convex lens incorrectly, causing the image to appear with incorrect colors. Concave lenses are used in binoculars and telescopes so what you see is the correct color

Most high quality cameras, telescopes and binoculars use concave lenses to improve the quality of the images they provide. Microscopes and reflecting telescopes make use of a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and aconvex lens, while refracting telescopes use two convex lenses.
Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar cookers, solar furnace etc. 6. Large concave mirrors are also used in reflecting type telescope.Convex mirrors are used for various purposes:- 1. A convex mirror is used as a reflector in street lamps.
