The transmission of light through lenses is best explained as what?

diffraction


Transmission by a lens is best explained by what theory?

Transmission by a lens is best explained by the wave theory of light, which posits that light travels in waves and undergoes refraction as it passes through a lens. The wave theory helps explain how light bends and focuses through different media, such as lenses, due to variations in the speed of light.


Do lenses transmit and refract light?

Yes, lenses transmit light by allowing it to pass through, and they refract light by bending it as it travels through the lens. This bending of light is what allows lenses to focus and magnify images.


How do lenses reflect light?

Lenses do not reflect light; instead, they primarily refract it. When light passes through a lens, its speed changes due to the lens material's optical density, causing the light to bend. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge them. Some light may be reflected at the lens surfaces, but the main function of lenses is to manipulate light through refraction.


Which is a feature of a light microscope and is not a feature of a scanning or transmission electron microscope?

It uses a combination of lenses.


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.


Do all lenses refract the light passes through them?

yes


Magnifies by allowing light to pass through an object and then through two or more lenses?

a compound light microscope


A microscope contains one or more glass lenses what do the lenses do to light that passes through them?

The lenses in a microscope refract the light passing through them, which means they bend the light rays to focus them into a magnified image. This process allows the microscope to produce a detailed and enlarged view of tiny objects that would otherwise be difficult to see.


Describe how a light microscope creates a magnified image?

A light microscope creates a magnified image through a series of lenses. The light rays reflected from the viewed abject, pass through these many lenses and form an enlarged picture of the object. It is able to show the fine details of the object that most people are studying or looking for.


What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?

The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.


How do the lenses of a light microscope make an object look larger?

The light makes it easier to see so i c make it larger then just the one lenses does to it.The one lenses makes it seem bigger then to because of the light hitting it right through the lenses.But my only question is how does it do that?HOW DOES THE LIGHT MICROSCOPE MAKE THIS LOOK LARGER?
