∙ 11y agoIt's just a convention. People wanted to distinguish between converging and diverging lenses, and decided "positive" and "negative" would be more acceptable to everyone out there, but as you see, it raises questions about what it means. Arguably it relates to where a parallel beam of light is focussed (or appears to be): in front of (ie the incident side, for a negative lens), or behind (ie the emergent side for a positive lens), of the lens.

Is also called a converging lens?
convex lens yo, it is biconvex lens
Why is convex lens called a converging lens?
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.

How does a convex lens work?
A convex lens is curved outward on both sides. Also, a convex lens, is used to enlarge objects.
Does a convex lens help you if you are farsighted?
You need a type of lens that are called convex lens.
A magnifying glass is also called what?
The answer is both convex and converging

What lens is a converging lens double-convex spherical-convex plano-concave or convexo-concave lens?
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
A transparent object that refracts light to form an image is called what?
You are thinking of a lens. If it is to form an image you need a convex lens, also called a converging lens.
Why is convex lens also called converging lens?
because light rays meet at a single point and do not spread out.
