Light goes in the lens, refraction occurs, and the light exits the lens.

What does light traveling through a lens look like?

Light traveling through a lens appears to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens. In a converging lens, the light rays come together at a focal point after passing through the lens, whereas in a diverging lens, the light rays spread out. The path of light through a lens can be visualized using ray diagrams.


How does light travel through concave and convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, causing image formation behind the lens. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, resulting in image formation on the opposite side of the lens. The specific path of light through these lenses is determined by the refraction of light rays at the surfaces of the lens.


How do light rays react differently when they go through a concave lens and through a convex lens?

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.


How does light travel through a concave or convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, spreading out away from each other. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, coming together at a focal point.


How does light go through a camera?

It is focussed by a lens (a sort of high-spec magnifying glass).


How does a physical filter transmit light to a camera?

The filter sits at the end of the lens. All light cannot enter the camera without first going through the lens. And light cannot enter the lens without going through the filter, so the light goes through the fliter, then through the lens, then into the camera


How a hand lens works?

a lens works when light goes through it and refracts (bends) inside the lens. so the light


How many lenses does the light pass through between the light source and your eye?

how does light effect your eye? In a compound light microscope? The light passes through three lenses between the light source and your eye. The first lens is the condenser lens.. The second lens is the objective lens. The third and final lens is the Eyepiece, also known as, the ocular lens. This is the lens you look through. These are the lenses that light must pass through to get from the light source to your eye.


Light rays converge if passed through a what?

A convex lens.


A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of?

A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of refraction. A lens is a device that uses refraction to bend light to form an image.


What can the amount that light bends as it passes through a lens be controlled through?

The amount of bending of light passing through a lens can be controlled by changing the curvature of the lens surface. A flatter lens will cause less bending, while a more curved lens will cause more bending. The material of the lens and the wavelength of light can also affect the amount of bending.


Does a lens heat up when light passes through it?

Typically a lens will heat up as light passes through it. No lens is perfectly transparent so some of the light energy will be reflected and some of it will be absorbed. The part that is absorbed will manifest as an increase in the temperature of the lens. The closer the lens is to being perfectly transparent to the wavelengths of the light passing through, the less it will heat up.
