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


What is the positive lens is the same as?

The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.


Why do convex lenses have shorter focal lengths than thin convex lenses?

The convex lenses are converging lens so when the curvature of the lens increases the focal length will decrease which helps when looking up close. A thin convex lens is for seeing things from a distant.


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 is a long length of wire coiled up into a shorter length?

A shorter length


What is the ratio of focal length of a spherical mirror to its radius curvature?

The focal point of a convex mirror lies on the same side as the centre of curvature and is at a distance of half the radius of curvature from the optical centre.

Which is the shorter length, 175.6 mm or 38.4 cm


Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?

Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.


What is the difference between a thick convex lens and a thin convex lens?

In optics, a thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical axis between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the focal length of the lens. Lenses whose thickness is not negligible are sometimes called thick lenses.


Which lens has a greater power convex lens of focal length 10 cm or a convex lens of focal length 20cm?

Power is inversely related to the focal length. So convex lens of focal length 20 cm has less power compared to that having focal length 10 cm


When do convex lens produce real image?

When the object length is less than the focal length


Relation of xylophone bars length to pitch?

The pitch of each bar is not only determined by the length, but also the thickness and density. The width does not matter. From what I found out, the longer, thinner, and denser the bar, the higher the pitch. The shorter, thicker, and less dense the bar, the lower the pitch.
