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.
What kind of lens has a focal point?
Convex lenses have a focal point.
The distance from lens to focal point is called?
It is called the focal length.
What is the distance between a lens and its focal point is called?
This is called focal length.
Which term defines the distance from the focal point to either a lens or a mirror?
focal length
What is defined as the distance between a lens and its focal point?
focal length of the lens

What is the focal lentgh of a lens?
It is a plane perpendicular to the lens at the focal distance from the lens. All parallel light entering the lens from a certain direction falls on a single point somewhere on this plane. Where the point of light falls depends on what angle the "wall" of light enters the lens.
What is the focal length of the convex lens?
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
What kind of lens has a focal point?
Convex lenses have a focal point.
Where is the focal point in a convex lens?
If you shine a parallel (ie unfocussed) beam of light perpendicular to a convex lens it will focus to a point on the other side. That place is called the focal point of the lens. Its distance to the lens is called the focal length.
What are two ways to focus a hand lens?
by either moving the object understudy to the focal point of the lens or to move the lens until the object is at the focal point.
Use the word length in a sentence?
Focal Point:The distance from the Lens to the Focal Point is called the Focal Point.
The distance from lens to focal point is called?
It is called the focal length.
What is the distance between a lens and its focal point is called?
This is called focal length.
Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
This depends on the type of lens. If it is a convex lens then they converge at the focus on the other side of the lens. If it is a concave lens, then they diverge and appear to be coming from the focus present on the same side of the lens as the incident ray.
Why is convex lens used for myopia?
Convex lenses cause the focal point to appear behind the lens (positive convergence). In myopia, the focal point lies somewhere between the lens and the retina, it needs to converge at a point farther than it is converging, this is why a convex lens is used, to push the focal point back so it will hit the retina. A concave lens would do the opposite for hyperopia (the focal point appears behind the retina), it will adjust the focal point to lie more anteriorly and land on the retina.
