Convex lenses protrude or curve out, concave lenses curve in, like a cave...

Why are convex lens thicker in the middle than at the edge?

A lens works by delaying light. When light rays encounter a lens, they refract the rays in the direction of the slower area, so a lens that is convex - thinker in the middle and thin on the edges - will bend all the light passing through it to come together. We design the lenses as thicker or thinner to deflect the light in the direction we want it to go.

Difference between convex and concave lens?

The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.

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


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.
