What is a flat file in metal workshop?

A hand file where both surfaces are flat. Used to file down metal where the surface requires a flat finish. Other files in the work shop are curved concave, curved convex ,triangular and square. Each used to specific shape filing.


How many diagonals does a concave hexagon have?

A concave Hexagon is that hexagon which has one of its internal angle greater than 180 degrees. It can have 8 diagonals. As compared to regular hexagon (Also convex hexagon) it has one less number of diagonals. This is because one line joining two of its vertices (that are at the end of sides forming >180 angle) fall outside the hexagon.


What features of a dovetail joint makes it to strong?

flat side with a convex back. the convex back distributes the pressure evenly throughout the entire dome.


Is it possible for a lens to act as a convergent lens in one medium and a divergent lens in another?

Yes. A lens makes use of the property that when light travels from a less dense medium (air) into a more dense medium (glass) it bends toward the surface normal. And when it travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the surface normal. So if the lens were placed in a more dense medium then itself the typical direction of light bending would be reversed. You should get a complete reversal of the roles played by a convex lens and a concave lens if you made a cavity inside a glass block in the shape of a lens. A concave glass lens in air does not give a real image but a concave cavity in a glass block should give a real image, in the block.

How are concave lens and convex lens different?

The convex lens bulges out at the center, while the concave lens bulges in at the center. The convex lens magnifies, while the concave lens reduces.


Explain the shape of a concave lens and a convex lens?

How are concave and convex mirrors are different from one another?

How are concave and convex lenses different?

Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).
