Whats the focal length of a lens?

The focal length of a lens is the distance from the principal foci to the center of the lens.


Explain how the focal length changes as a convex lens becomes flatter?

The focal length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to the point at which it focuses light rays. The bigger the focal length, the more powerful the lens. ChaCha!


Length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to its principal focus?

It is called the focal length. It is equal to 1/2 times r, and is positive on concave mirrors and negative on convex mirrors.


What is defined as the distance between a lens and its focal point?

focal length of the lens


What is the focal length of the convex lens?

The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.


What will happen to the focal length of a lens if it is cut into half vertically?

When the lens is cut vertically then the focal length of the lens will increase.the focal length will become approx double.


If a telescope has an objective lens of 3 inches what is the focal length?

The size (diameter) of a lens does not determine its focal length. The amount of curvature of the lens does. Citing a diameter for a lens doesn't help us find the focal length. Lenses are ground to specifications that allow short or long focal length. The more curved the lens, the shorter the focal length. You can see this if we specify a given curvature and then start to "flatten" the lens. The focal length will get longer and longer as the lens is flattened. When the lens is flat (has to curvature) the lense has an infinite focal length, just like a piece of flat glass.


Which lens in a refracting telescope has a shorter focal length?

The eyepiece will have a shorter focal length than the objective lens has.


How does change in the thickness of lens change the focal length of lens?

Not at all. The focal length is determined by the curvature of the surfaces.


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


Why does the focal length of a mirror not depend on the mirror material when the focal length of a lens does depend on the lens material?

The focal length for a mirror is determined by the law of reflection from the mirror surface. This law is not governed by the material that the mirror is made by. This means that the focal length depends only on the radius and curvature. Conversely, the focal length of a lens depends on the indices of refraction of the lens meterial and the surrounding medium.


How does the thickness of a lens affect the focal length of a lens?

There are three factors affecting the focal length of a lens. 1. refractive index of the material of lens. 2. refractive index of the surrounding medium 3. the radius of curvature of the lens surfaces.
