The two types of lenses are?
convex and concave (for glasses im assuming...)
Would you use a convex lens or a concave lens to magnify an object?
Magnifying glasses use convex lenses
What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.
How are concave and convex lenses different?
Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).
How does concave lens work?
Concave lenses work by refraction of light.
List two uses for concave lens?
Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.

How do people use lenses to see things a long way away?
Lenses are either concave or convex. Concave lenses curve inward from both sides, and convex lenses curve outward one side and inward on the other. Concave and convex lenses change the image to be able to see from close or far distances.These are used for glasses, magnifying glasses, and telescopes.
What two kinds of lenses are used in eye glasses?
concave and convex lenses are used in eye glassses
Two uses for concave lenses?
Glasses and a peep hole you find in your door
Concave and convex glasses?
Glasses may have convex or concave lenses, depending on the needs of the wearer. A lense for correcting myopia (near-sightedness) is concave, being thinner in the middle than at the edges. A lense correcting hyperopia (farsightedness) is convex, buldging in the middle and becoming thinner toward the edges.
Would you use a convex lens or a concave lens to magnify an object?
Magnifying glasses use convex lenses
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
What lenses refract light outward and are thinner in the middle?
its a concave lens(:
What devices use lenses to produce a real image?
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.
What type of eyeglass lenses can help correct myopia?
The type of eyeglasses that correct myopia are called concave lenses, in other words, the center of the glasses are thinner than the outer part.
What are the differences between concave and convex lenses?
Concave lenses curve inwardly.Convex lenses curve outwardly.* See related links.
