What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.
When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected the pass though?
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
Difference between focal point and focal length?
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
How does a concave lens refract light?
frikin question answer=blah blah blah hahahaha....lol...!
What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?
Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.

Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?
No it do not bend.
What happens when a wave passes through a concave lens?
The waves would diverge.

That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
A polygon has the property that there is a line which contains a side of the polygon and passes through the interior of the polygon?
Concave
How does a magnifier work on a telescope?
The lens is a convex shape which allows it to concentrate and magnify light which passes through it.
What is the name of a polygon with no side that passes through the figures interior?
Convex polygon. When the sides are extended, none of them pass through the polygon's interior.
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
What kind of polygon has the property that there is a line which contains a side of the polygon and passes through the interior of the polygon?
It is a concave or reentrant polygon.
What happens when light passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?
The 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 lensconcave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens
