What is a description of convex lens?
Convex lenses bend light and focus it one one spot. -anonymous18_K
What is the name given to a curved piece of glass which it used to bend light rays?
Concave or convex lenses
What objects use convex lenses?
Convex lenses are used for glasses since it can bend light to provide better eyesight. Their also used for cameras, telescopes or science purposes. Also you have double convex lens in your eye.
Do thick convex lenses have longer or shorter focal lengths than thin convex lenses?
As a thicker lens has more material to do bend the light further it it would have a shorter focal length
How do concave and convex lenses work?
convex lenses bend light to a smaller beam

In which direction does a convex lens bend?
Convex lenses protrude or curve out, concave lenses curve in, like a cave...
What is the main difference between how convex and concave lenses affect light?
Concave lenses are thicker at the edges then at the middle. A Convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the center than at its edges.

How do convex lenses bend light rays?
convex lenses bend light through refraction 1) a light ray that is parallel to the principal axis is refracted through the principal focus F. 2) A light ray passing through the principal focus F' is refracted parallel to the principal axis 3) a light ray passing through the lens' midpoint travels straight on -K14
How do lenses cause light to focus?
There are two types of lenses- Concave and Convex. The convex ones are bulging from the center and the concave ones are bulging at the ends.Convex=()Concave=)(The convex ones focus light by refracting them so the light rays meet and form a focus.===========()>The concave do the opposite, the light rays bend outwards [sorry for the meeting of the lines in the below pic, they do not meet but bend outwards).===========)(
A type of lens that magnifies an object?
convex converging apex... :P
What do modern microscopes bend?
Modern microscopes that uses lenses to bend LIGHT
Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?
No it do not bend.
