Does light travel easier through a convex lens or a concave lens?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The "ease" with which light travels through a lens has to do with the material the lens is made of. If a concave and convex lens are both made of the same material, say, silicon glass, then the light behaves in an identical way within both lenses. What happens on the front and back sides of the surface of the lens is a different story. This is because the light will be reflected and refracted differently by the different lenses because of their shape. But the light behaves the same way within both lenses as it is passing through.

What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Can a p wave travel through gas?
P waves can travel through gas, solids, and liquids and Swaves can only travel through solids.
How does a carbon atom travel through photosynthesis?
they travel by the air which is through the photosynthesis and they and cellular respiration
What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie
Does electricity travel in the shortest or easiest path?
Electricity travels in the path of least resistance.
How do light rays travel after striking a lens?
It depends on the lens. Assuming parallel rays entering the lens: Convex lens - they converge, Concave lens - they dinverge.
What happens to light rays when they travel through a concave lens?
When they are entering a concave lens they are refracted and bend away from each other.
What happens to light rays when they travel through concave lens?
When they are entering a concave lens they are refracted and bend away from each other.
How does light travel through a convex lense?
light rays converge at the focal plane
Why are headlights on cars usually concave in shape?
Concave-shaped headlights are able to scatter and disperse the light rays produced by the bulb inside, making the light more noticeable from a distance as it can travel further, which is exactly the function of a headlight. Convex-shaped headlights, on the other hand, converge the light rays produced, causing it to travel only a very short distance and does not serve the purpose.
Would traviling through the rain forest be easier by boat or by car?
Durring the rain season,it would be easier to travel by boat. During the normal season it is easier to travel by car through the Amazonian Highway.
Do all light waves that travel through a convex lens always pass through the focal point?
No, not all light waves that travel through a convex lens pass through the focal point. It depends on the wavelength of the light, since light of different wavelengths diffract at different angles when encountering a change in media, such as air to glass, at an angle. Isaac Newton noted this in his study of light and prisms.
What is the similarities between concave and convex lenses?
A lens and a mirror both serve to bend light in a particular way. A lens bends the angle at which the light goes, while a mirror reflects the light away.
Why do boats have stream lined shapes?
It makes it easier for them to travel through the water.
Does sound travel further through water or air?
Water. it is more viscous (thick) then air which means the molecules are closer together therefore making it easier to travel through (but not better to hear).
Does waves travel through solids or liquids faster?
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
How does light travel through a carvex lens?
IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.
