Question

Differentiate convex and concave lenses.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A convex lens is thicker at the centre and thinner at the edges. A concave lens is thicker at the edges and thinner at the centre. Due to the converging rays, it is called a converging lens. Due to the diverging rays, it is called a diverging lens.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A convex lens or converging lens focuses the light rays to a specific point whereas a concave lens or diverging lens diverges the light rays. A lens is a transparent material (either curved or flat surface) based on the principles of refraction. Concave lenses and convex lenses are often used together which is known as the Concave – Convex lens. When these lenses are combined, they produce sharper images. Most of the eyeglass lenses use combinations of convex and concave lenses. Cameras, telescopes and microscopes use different lens, helping us to see the world in a better way.
