Convex lens and concave lens?
Answers
Convex lens
A convex lens is thicker at the centre than at the edges. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together. A convex lens is a converging lens.
Concave lens
A concave lens is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, making that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it.
Explanation:
concave lens
1)A concave lens has its surface curved inwards.
2) It is thicker at the edges than in the middle.
3) It can form only a virtual image.
4) It can form only a diminished image.
