The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.

What is the distance between a lens and its focal point is called?
This is called focal length.
The distance from lens to focal point is called?
It is called the focal length.
Which term defines the distance from the focal point to either a lens or a mirror?
focal length
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
What is defined as the distance between a lens and its focal point?
focal length of the lens
What is the distance between a lens and its focal point is called?

Focal Point:The distance from the Lens to the Focal Point is called the Focal Point.
The distance between a mirror and its focal point is called the?
Focal length, positive number with a concave mirror, negative for a convex mirror.
The distance from lens to focal point is called?
It is called the focal length.
What is the focal length of the convex lens?
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
Which term defines the distance from the focal point to either a lens or a mirror?
focal length
What is the difference between an initial point of a vector and a terminal point?
The difference is the length of the vector.
Explain how the focal length changes as a convex lens becomes flatter?
The focal length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to the point at which it focuses light rays. The bigger the focal length, the more powerful the lens. ChaCha!
