They are convex, or rounded outward. The title is given from where you view through them - from convex to concave. The image is in focus from this direction
Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
)( is a concave lens() is a convex lens
Double-convex lens
projector have concave or convex
A convex lens magnifies.
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging 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 .
convex.
It's convex
Convex Lens
CONCAVE LENS : lens that atleast possess one end inwards is called as concave lens. CONVEX LENS : lens that atleast possess one end outwards like the exterior of the sphere is called convex lens. According to the medical values convex lens are used for long sight vision problem and concave lens for short sight vision problems.
