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).
How are concave and convex lenses similar?
their both lenses, and you can see through them. They also have curves.
Do cameras have concave or convex lenses?
yes
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.

How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Are objective lenses concave or convex?
Objective lenses are convex lenses.
What are two type of lenses?
convex and concave
Do binoculors have concave or convex lenses?
i think they have convex lenses
How are concave and convex lenses similar?

Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.
Do cameras have concave or convex lenses?
yes
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
Where do you find concave and convex lenses around your house?
windows if u have a old camera or binoculars,u could open them up and get the concave and convex lenses from there.
Types of lenses?
Convex lenses are curved inward. Concave lenses curve outward.
