After they pass through the lens, they converge, meaning that they come together at a specific point.

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.
Parallel light rays that pass through a convex lens are?
Converging. Tip: look at the pictures and read : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(optics)
A convex lens can produce what?
A convex lens can converge a beam of parallel rays to a point on the other side of the lens. It is useful for reflecting and transmitting light.
What is an optical device that uses a lens to produce a larger and virtual image?
A camera, television, lap top, glasses, psp, claw machine.
What type of image does a Convex mirror produce and Why?
A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are: 1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface. 2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line. 3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle. The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.
What happens to light rays that travel parallel to optical axis as they pass through a convex lens?
The rays are diffracted toward the center of the lens. This is the principal used in reading and magnifying glasses.

Can parallel rays of light meet?
If passed through a convex lense, then yes the parallel rays will meet.
Does a thinner and less convex lens have a shorter focal length and low optical power?
It is not necessary that a thinner convex lens have less optical power or a thicker lens has more optical power
What do parallel lines do when they hit a convex lens?
Parallel lines of light rays hitting a convex lens will converge towards a single point after passing through the lens. This point is known as the focal point, where the light rays meet and diverge after passing through the lens.
What two optical devices use convex lenses to focus and enlarge images?
An optical microscope or twlescope.
What is an optical device that produces real images?
Double Convex
What lens Has an optical axis?
A lens with an optical axis is symmetrically designed, meaning that the center of the lens coincides with the optical axis. This axis passes through the center of curvature, allowing light to pass through without significant deviation. Lenses that are not symmetrical may not have a distinct optical axis.
What optical components does a camera use?
Convex and concave lenses, and prisms.
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.
Why is a magnifying glass considered an Optical Device?
Because a magnifying glass is made of of convex lens. It converses light rays and magnifies the objects seen through it.
Do all light waves that strike a convex lens pass through the focal point?
No, not all light waves that strike a convex lens pass through the focal point. Light waves that are parallel to the principal axis will pass through the focal point after refraction, while light waves that strike the lens at different angles will converge at different points along the focal plane.
