Answer:
There are two types of spherical lenses: (i) Convex or Converging Lenses : These are thick in the middle and thin at the edges. (a) Double Convex Lens : It has both the surfaces convex. (b) Plano–Convex Lens : It has one surface plane and the other surface convex
Aperture is defined as the diameter of the boundary of the circular lens. Principal focus is the point at which a beam of light that is parallel to principal axis will converge/diverges after refraction. Focal length is the distance between the optical center and principal focus of the lens

There are two types of spherical lenses:
i)Convex
ii)Concave
Principal focus:
For Convex: The Principal focus of a converging lens is the point to which a beam of light parallel to the principal axis converges after refraction.
For Concave: The Principal focus of a diverging lens is a point from which a beam of light parallel to principal axis appears to diverge after refraction.
Optical centre:Optical centre is a point inside the lens through which a ray of light passes undeviated from the lens.
Aperture:
The area of the lens available for refraction is called the aperture of the lens.
HOPE this HELPS you.
