As a thicker lens has more material to do bend the light further it it would have a shorter focal length

Do thick concave lenses have longer or shorter focal lengths than thin concave lenses?

It have a shorter focal length because there is more time for the light rays to come together


What type of lenses are used when photographing people's faces from a distance?

You would ask for a telephoto lens in a shop. Scientifically they are convex lenses with longer focal lengths than a normal lens. A normal lens has a focal length between 21 and 35 mm, whereas the medium telephoto lenses used for portraiture have focal lengths between 70 and 135 mm.

What is a graduation hair cut?

A graduation haircut uses hair lengths to create weight in the hairstyle. It is not uniform layering, but a mix of shorter and longer lengths.


What is a relationship between frequency and wavelength?

The issue is not frequency and wavelength, a relationship is the problem AM Wave length is longer, than FM Wave length. Shorter wave lengths have a tendency to be shorter in the pm. AM Wave lengths were used before FM wave lengths.


How do you find the side lengths of a 20-70-90 triangle?

There are an infinite number of different sets of lengths that will do it. You have to start by choosing the length of one side, and when you do that, here's how to find the others: Shorter leg = (longer leg) x 0.364 Shorter leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.342 Longer leg = (shorter leg) x 2.747 Longer leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.94 Hypotenuse = (shorter leg) / 0.342 Hypotenuse = (longer leg) / 0.94


What portions of the visible spectrum benefit photosynthesis the most?

Energy with shorter weve lengths, such as ultra violet, has higher energy levels than those with longer wave lengths, such as infrareds. So, I assume the portions of the visible spectrum with shorter wave lengths benefit photosynthesis the most.


What set of lengths can be used to make a triangle?

There are many lengths that can be used to make triangles. Basically take the longest side, add the two shorter sides together, it can be a triangle as long as the 2 shorter sides added together are longer than the longest side.


How the focal length of a convex lens changes as the sides of the lens become less curved?

Longer focal lengths and less light rays are being bent. :) It's in the book.


What is true about the lengths of the three sides of a triangle?

For a triangle to exist, the sum of the shorter two sides must be longer than the third side.


Is the day length in the north shorter or longer than the south?

The North has shorter days between the Autumnal equinox and the Spring equinox, and longer days for the other half of the year. In the South, it is the other way around. Averaged over the course of a year the day lengths are the same.
