How do light rays react differently when they go through a concave lens and through a convex lens?
Nightfrost
The photons are absorbed by electrons that they encounter, then re-radiated onward. If the convex lens is in a medium of lower refractive index, the light converges on its way through, and emerges still converging.

∙ 9y agoThe light is delayed longer by the thicker part of the lens than by the thinner part of the lens. This results in the following:
- convex lens, light rays bend towards the axis of the lens
- concave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens

Is a searching light mirror concave or convex?
concave
Is search light mirror concave or convex?
concave
How does light behave as it passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?
It slows the light down
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Is a street light mirror concave or convex?
It is a convex mirror. .
Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?
convex mirror
Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.
Do Light Rays converge or diverge?
Light rays converge as well as diverge. it depends upon the type of lens or mirror you pass it through. A concave lens or a convex mirror diverges the light whereas a convex lens or a concave mirror converges the light rays!
Does light travel easier through a convex lens or a concave lens?
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 is a lens that spreads light apart?
concave spread light and convex collects lght
Is the cornea convex or concave?
The cornea is convex. Remember that conCAVE curves in the way - like a cave. The cornea is convex as it helps the rays of light to converge (come together). Hope that helps!
