What is a convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point?
A magnifying lens. In a Refracting Telescope, a convex lens focuses light to form an image at the focal point.
What are two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?
a convex lens is thicker in the center then at the edges. A convex lens acts like a concave mirror, because it focuses rays of light.
If you break the lens on a camera what would happen?
There is an electronic light sensor in a camera; this sensor has what is called a "shutter" in front of it. When the shutter opens, the lens is responsible for focusing the outer light onto the sensor. Now if the lens is broken it will not be focusing the light, so the picture will be fuzzy beyond recognizing. I think it is worthy to mention that there are no lens cameras. They have a pinhole (or just a very small hole) which because of its smallness focuses the light.
What happens when a light hits a lens?
If light is incident of a convex lens, light will meet at the focal point, on the other side of the lens. In case of concave lens, light will be diverged. Convex and concave lens are very important in study of optics.
What does a lens do to light?
It bends light.
The human lens focuses light on the photoreceptor cells by?
Refraction. Due to the curved lens in the eye, and the difference of transparent medium from air, Snell's law applies. The shape of the lens re-directs light to focus on the retina. Muscles around the eye alter the shape to maintain focus.
What part focuses light?
A parabolic mirror best focuses light onto a spot. Or a convex lens will do similar. In the eye, the lens towards the front of the eye focuses light onto the retina, where the light sensitive cells lie.
What is the biconvex transparent structure that focuses light on the retina?
The biconvex transparent structure that focuses light on the retina is called the lens.
What are the Characteristics of Lens?
The lens focuses light on the retina.
What does lens do?
The lens focuses light on the retina (fish have one)
The lens focuses light on the?
retina, film, CCD, etc.
Which structures focuses light on the retina?
lens.
Focuses the light that enters the eye?
Lens
How do eyes see?
The lens focuses incoming light on the retina (light sensitive cells), which sends signals down the optic nerve, and the brain interprets to sight.
What does lens do eye?
The lens focuses light by bending the light to make it strike the retina in the right angle
What do eye lens do?
The lens focuses light by bending the light to make it strike the retina in the right angle
Which are a characteristic of the lens?
A glass lens can be concave or convex. This shape is what gives glass the properties of a lens by bending the light.
