Question

state two difference between a convex and a concave lens​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Convex lens is thicker in the middle while concave lens is thinner in the middle. 2) A convex lens converges the light ray falling on it, while a concave lens diverges the light ray falling on it.

Answer 2

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.
