By convex lens, rays fallen would be definitely converged hence named as converging lens. If rays fall parallel to the principal axis after refraction they would be converged at a point known to be the principal focus of the lens. If rays go in diverging state as the source is in between its F and O, optic centre then they would appear to come from the same side and so we get a virtual enlarged image. This is what a palmologist does with a lens to read the lines on the palm. Optic centre is the point on the lens through which as rays pass then it goes unrefracted or undeviated.

What happens when incident rays of a convex lens converge?
You mean the entering rays into the convex lens is already in convergence mode. Ok. Now as it enters into the convex lens convergence would be increased as convex lens would do only converging phenomenon.
How can you tell whether a convex lens will produce a real or virtual image?
The secret is that after refraction through convex lens if the refracted rays converge then it would form a REAL image and if the rays are diverging then it would form a VIRTUALimage.So, when the object is at or beyond the focus (F) of the convex lens then we have only converging refracted rays, hence real imageIf the object lies in between focus (F) and optical centre (O) of the lens, then refracted rays come out diverging and so only virtual images are formed.

What type of lens can focus the suns rays?
Bi-Convex lens can be used to focus the Sun's rays
What is a Convex lens-?
It is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves outwards. It causes light to deviate inward, bringing the rays of light to a focus. Its thicker at its center than at its edges, and is used to correct far-sightedness. A convex lens is a lens that bulges outward on both sides. I have another comment. It does do all that stuff and who needed them to build a telescope? It's Galileo Galilie. Ohyah!
Rays of light incident on a lens anb parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
They converge in the focus of the lens. It can be, of course, real or imaginary (it depends on if the lens is concave or convex, respectively).
Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
This depends on the type of lens. If it is a convex lens then they converge at the focus on the other side of the lens. If it is a concave lens, then they diverge and appear to be coming from the focus present on the same side of the lens as the incident ray.
Light rays refracted by a concave lens?
spread out
What happend to rays of light when they are refracted by a convex lens?
Now suppose that the rays of light are traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens. These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens. As the light rays enter into the more dense lens material, they refract towards the normal; and as they exit into the less dense air, they refract away from the normal. These specific rays will exit the lens traveling parallel to the principal axis.
What do parallel lines do when they hit a convex lens?
Parallel rays after hitting the convex lens meet all at the focus of the lens.
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
Why is a concave lens called a divergent lens?
A convex lens is wider at the edges than it is in the center. Therefore, it is a converging lens.
