NO, It reduces it's image size
A convex lens would be used to magnify an object because it converges light rays to a focal point, thereby creating a larger and more magnified image. A concave lens diverges light rays and would not be suitable for magnifying objects.
You would use a convex lens.
convex converging apex... :P
== == It is used to magnify/ or make things appear closer?to magnify small objects
A telescope uses a convex lens to gather and focus light, a concave lens to correct spherical aberration, and a flat mirror to reflect and redirect the light towards an eyepiece or sensor. These components work together to magnify distant objects and allow for detailed observations.
Objects that include a concave lens include eyeglasses for nearsightedness, binoculars, and telescopes. Concave lenses are used to correct myopia (nearsightedness) and to diverge light rays, resulting in magnified and clear images.
The other term for a concave lens is a diverging lens. This type of lens causes light rays to spread out, making objects appear smaller and farther away when viewed through it.
A magnifying lens is typically a convex lens. This type of lens is thicker in the center than at the edges, causing light rays to converge in a way that magnifies objects when viewed through the lens.
i guess it doesnt really matter. my magnifying glass is a convex lens so yaaaa. well that's all i got cuz this website don't even no what a concave or convex lens is.
A microscope typically uses a convex lens to focus light and magnify an image. The convex lens converges light rays to produce a magnified image, whereas a concave lens would diverge light rays and not be suitable for magnification in a microscope.
You need a convex lens to magnify an image.
A telescope lens works to magnify distant objects by bending and focusing light rays that enter the lens. This allows the lens to gather more light and bring the image of the distant object into focus, making it appear larger and clearer when viewed through the telescope.
