A lens is a transparent retracting medium bounded by two surfaces - at least one of these must be spherical.
Usually Lenses are of two types--
- Convex or converging lens.
- Concave or diverging lens
Convex or converging lens:
A lens which bulges out in the middle ( i.e. thicker in the middle and thinner at its edges) ais called a convex or converging lens.
Concave or diverging lens:
A lens which is bent inwards in the middle (i.e.,thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle) is called a concave or diverging lens.
Convex lens is called converging lens, while concave lens is called diverging lens.
Convex lens is called converging lens, while concave lens is called diverging lens.
It is a a piece of glass or other transparent material with curved sides for concentrating or dispersing light rays, used singly (as in a magnifying glass) or with other lenses (as in a telescope). ... Lenses are made from materials such as glass or plastic, and are ground and polished or molded to a desired shape.
