Fresnel lens is much thinner, larger, and flatter, and captures more oblique light from a light source, thus allowing lighthouses to be visible over much greater distances.
Fresnel lens
A fresnel lens is a type of magnifying glass itself. NOT the most familiar type like sherlock holmes used. You can find fresnel lenses stuck to the back window of vans, in lighthouse lenses. any magnifying lens that has concentric ridges to achieve the magnification effect only using a thin lens.
A4 plastic sheet magnifiers are a good version of fresnel lens.
The Fresnel Lens was originally developed by French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel. It is a type of compact lens used to project light within a lighthouse.

It's almost impossible for a person to just make a fresnel lens, it's made in factories, u can FOUND some of them in rear projection tvs
There are 2 parameters that are needed to determine the magnifying power of a simple lens. These parameters include the distance that is found between the central plain of the lens and the point at which the rays of light pass through the lens.
A magnifying lens is convex i.e. it bulges outwards. A concave lens would make objects appear smaller.
