Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?
Yes. Nd converging lens = concave lens
What are the types of lenses and mirrors?
1. plain mirror2. concave mirror 4. concave lens3.convex mirror 5.convex lens
Why is the focal point of a convex lens real and that of a concave lens virtual?
because in a convex lens rays join at a common point after refrection but in case of a concave lens they appears to come from a common point.
What is a lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges?
a convex lens
Length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to its principal focus?
It is called the focal length. It is equal to 1/2 times r, and is positive on concave mirrors and negative on convex mirrors.

Do binoculars have convex lenses?
Yes they do. They also include concave mirrors and a plane mirror.

Why do reflecting telescopes use con cave mirrors and not convex mirrors?
Convex mirrors spread and not focus light. They do the opposite of concentrating and magnifying. They are the mirror image of what a concave telescope is and does. Pun intended.
What is a lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges?
a convex lens
What is a common use for convex mirrors?
So the mirror can work conexedly
What kind of lens does a projector use?
projector have concave or convex

Do flashlights have convex or concave lens?
convex lens
What is the difference between concave and convex lens'?
Answer #1convex lens is something they put in your eyes as contacts or in your glasses if you farsited but convex lens makes your image bigger and concave lens makes your image smaller.Answer #2For example, mirrors can be convex, concave and straight, just like glass. The normal mirrors that you use to look at yourself are straight mirrors, they show a normal picture.Do you ever walk into a shop and see a huge bulging mirror in the corner of the shop and you can see just about every corner of the shop in the mirror? well that is a convex mirror. The curved mirrors show a wider view of everything.The concave mirrors are opposite, they "magnify" the image, the concave mirrors make objects larger because the light is focused on a smaller reflection area.This is exactly what happens if you look through glass, that is either a convex or concave.People who are short sighted have glasses with a concavelens, (the lens that indents, you can also remember that it is concave that way because a cave goes in and a concave lens goes in.People who are long sighted wear glasses with convexlenses.
