The optical center of the lens is a point on the axis of a lens is the point where any ray passing through this point, the incident part and the emergent part are parallel. It is important for the proper refraction of light.

Optical centre, in case of refracting lens, is the point in the lens through which when rays of light pass it would go undeviated.

Is optical center is same as the geometric center of a lens?

no it is same


What is the optical center of a zoom lens?

If you look through the lens at a distant point, the point image will not move when the lens is rotated slightly about a vertical or horizontal axis the goes through the nodal point. This is called the optical center. With a thin lens this is close to the geometric center, with a longer complex lens the optical center is buried somewhere inside. The optcial center of a complex lens may or may not be inside an element.

What is optical center of a lens?

optic centre is the geometrical centre of the lens the rays of light passing through this point emerges in the same direction without bending.


Why the a ray passing through center of lens do not bends?

It is because the central portion of the lens i.e. optical centre can be considered similar to a parallel sided glass slab.

Does a thinner and less convex lens have a shorter focal length and low optical power?

It is not necessary that a thinner convex lens have less optical power or a thicker lens has more optical power


How can glass be made useful for purposes such as bending and resisting heat?

Unlike an optical lens, maximum 'bending' occurs closest to, and minimum 'bending' furthest from, the center of a gravitational lens.

If you are talking convex and concave, they both have an optical lens. Sorry if that doesn't help, but what do I know.


What is optical energy?

Optical Energy, better known as Optical Power, is the converging strength of a lens. As an example a lens with a high Optical Power will have a wider range of view but less focal distance. A lens with low Optical Power will have a longer focal distance but less range of view.
