There are many factors affecting the focal length of a lens, these include:
- The thickness of a lens.
- The curviture of a lens.
- The material the lens is made out of. E.g. Glass or plastic.
- The light intensity going through the lens.
- The shape of the lens.
These, are just few of the many factors that may affect the focal length of a particular lens.
I hope this has helped.

How does the thickness of a lens affect the focal length of a lens?
There are three factors affecting the focal length of a lens. 1. refractive index of the material of lens. 2. refractive index of the surrounding medium 3. the radius of curvature of the lens surfaces.
Factors affecting for length of a convex lens by the lens displacement method using cojugate foci?
There are many factors that can affect the focal length of a convex lens. These include: - The thickness of the lens - The type of material that the lens is made ot of - The curviture of the lens - How big the distance between the lens and the image you are viewing is. This is obviously a major factor due to the fact the the focal length is where all the light becomes concentrated and the image becomes clear as pristine. I hope this has helped those seeking the answer to the question above. I know this information as I am doing a controlled assessment all about 'How Factors Affect The Focal Lenght/ Point Of A Convex Lens'. Thankyou for viewing. Samia :)
Whats the focal length of a lens?
The focal length of a lens is the distance from the principal foci to the center of the 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.
What will happen to the focal length of a lens if it is cut into half vertically?
When the lens is cut vertically then the focal length of the lens will increase.the focal length will become approx double.

What are the factors affecting the focal length of a liquid lens?
The density viscosity are the major factors.

How does the eyepiece affect the total magnifacation in a telescope?
A telescope consists of two lenses. 1) The main lens which collects the light ( it is relatively bigger that eyepiece). 2) Eye piece , through which we see. Magnification of a telescope depends on the focal length of the eye piece and the main lens. Magnification = Focal length of the main lens / Focal length of the eyepiece . For example : If the focal length of the main lens is 12 units and the focal length of the eyepiece is 2 units , then the magnification will be 12/2 = 6.When the focal length of the main lens is constant , the focal length of the eyepiece is inversely proportional to the magnification.
Explain how the focal length changes as a convex lens becomes flatter?
The focal length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to the point at which it focuses light rays. The bigger the focal length, the more powerful the lens. ChaCha!

Does the focal lens length have three classifications?
yes, focal lens length has three classifications
What is defined as the distance between a lens and its focal point?
focal length of the lens
What is the focal length of the convex lens?
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.

When the lens is cut vertically then the focal length of the lens will increase.the focal length will become approx double.
If a telescope has an objective lens of 3 inches what is the focal length?
The size (diameter) of a lens does not determine its focal length. The amount of curvature of the lens does. Citing a diameter for a lens doesn't help us find the focal length. Lenses are ground to specifications that allow short or long focal length. The more curved the lens, the shorter the focal length. You can see this if we specify a given curvature and then start to "flatten" the lens. The focal length will get longer and longer as the lens is flattened. When the lens is flat (has to curvature) the lense has an infinite focal length, just like a piece of flat glass.
