Which lens is thicker in the center than at the edges in a microscope?
A convex lens.
What is a lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges?
a convex lens
What kind of lens has a center that is thicker than its edge?
A convex lens
Explain the shape of a concave lens and a convex lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. A convex lens is like a concave mirror.A concave lens is thinner in the center than at the edges.
Differentiate convex lens from concave lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the centre than the outsides. A concave lens is thinner in the centre than the outsides.
Is a convex lens edge thicker than the middle?
The edges of a convex lens are thicker than the middle.
What year did Hans and Zacharias Janssen develop the microscope?
Dutch maker of spectacles who invented the first compound microscope in 1590 (a compound microscope is one which has more than one lens). The lens in the eyepiece was bi-convex (bulging outwards on both sides), and the lens of the far end (the objective lens) was plano-convex (flat on one side and bulging outwards on the other side). This advanced microscope had a 3 to 9 times power of magnification. In 1608 he made the first telescope together with Hans Lippershey.
What part is thicker than the other in a convex lens?
In a convex lens, the middle is thicker than the outer rim. In a concave lens, the outside rim is thicker.
What shape does concave and convex lens make?
Concave is thinner in the center than the edges and convex lens is thicker in the center than on the edges :)
When does a concave lens act as convex lens?
A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .
