Do all light waves that travel through a convex lens always pass through the focal point?
Guitar4lif3
No, not all light waves that travel through a convex lens pass through the focal point. It depends on the wavelength of the light, since light of different wavelengths diffract at different angles when encountering a change in media, such as air to glass, at an angle. Isaac newton noted this in his study of light and prisms.

How does light travel through a convex lense?
light rays converge at the focal plane
What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
What kind of lens has a focal point?
Convex lenses have a focal point.
An object seen close up through a convex lens looks than it really is?
A convex lens is a mirror whose middle is larger than the top and bottom. A convex lens is more than two focal lengths. It is smaller and inverted between one and two focal lengths.
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
How does light travel through a convex lense?

What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
How does light travel through a carvex lens?
IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.
Why the study was under taken of focal length of a convex lens by graphical method?
to determine the focal length of a convex mirror.
What kind of lens has a focal point?
Convex lenses have a focal point.
What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?
Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.
What is the focal length of the convex lens?
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
What happens to the focal length of convex lens when convex lens is cutted vertically along the optic center?
its focal lenght becomes 2f

Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
Difference between focal point and focal length?
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.
