concave spread light and convex collects lght
convex lens
A diverging light ray spreads out (diverges) in different directions, while a convergent light ray comes together (converges) at a single point known as the focus.
A convex lens is wider at the edges than it is in the center. Therefore, it is a converging lens.
A convex lens bends the light that goes through it toward a focal point. The light spreads out again past this focal point. Magnifying glasses are convex lenses. When you use one, the lens bends the light rays so that they come together and focus on the lens within your eye. The light then spreads out as the rays continue past the focal point, and they hit the retina of the eye. The spreading of the light makes the image viewed appear much larger than it really is because it causes the image to take up more space on the retina. Moving the magnifying glass closer or farther away from the eye will change how much the light is spread on the retina. The closer the magnifying glass is to the eye, the bigger the image will appear.For short the lense bends light and reflects it back to make it look bigger. LoL what a invention :D
Parralel light rays striking the concave lens in choice would diverge (spread apart).
If light is incident of a convex lens, light will meet at the focal point, on the other side of the lens. In case of concave lens, light will be diverged. Convex and concave lens are very important in study of optics.
it spreads light rays apart,or it is used in a camera lens.
All lenses refract. You are talking about a diverging lens, which is thinner near the centre than near the rim.
A parabolic mirror best focuses light onto a spot. Or a convex lens will do similar. In the eye, the lens towards the front of the eye focuses light onto the retina, where the light sensitive cells lie.
a concave lens is thin in the middle, but thick on the sides. It does this: it makes what you look at bigger because it spreads out light
By bending light rays so they are farther apart.

Magnifying glasses are convex lens. The lens with a curved shape is named a convex lens; it has a bulky center and thin edges. A convex lens bends the light that goes through it toward a focal point. The light spreads out again past this focal point. When you use one, the lens bends the light rays so that they come together and focus on the lens within your eye. The light then spreads out as the rays continue past the focal point, and they hit the retina of the eye. The spreading of the light makes the image viewed appear much larger than it really is because it causes the image to take up more space on the retina. Moving the magnifying glass closer or farther away from the eye will change how much the light is spread on the retina. The closer the magnifying glass is to the eye, the bigger the image will appear.

Light goes in the lens, refraction occurs, and the light exits the lens.

Some things that a lens can do to light are:refract light -making it curve towards/away from the normalmake light converge (come together) or diverge (spread apart)magnify imagesmake images more clear or blurrymake light slow downdistort and imageSome examples of lenses are:glassescameracontactscontactsmagnifying glasstelescopevideo cameramicroscopebinoculars
