What lens is thicker in the middle than the egdes?
convex
Is the moon's crust thinner or thicker than Earth's?
thicker
What do you call a microscope that has more than one lens?
A microscope that has more than one lens is a compound microscope
Does a microscope have more than 1 lens?
Yes they can have different magnification.
What type of lens refracts and spreads out light?
All lenses refract. You are talking about a diverging lens, which is thinner near the centre than near the rim.
Is a convex lens edge thicker than the middle?
The edges of a convex lens are thicker than the middle.
What lens are thicker at edges than middle?
CONCAVE lens.
What lens is thicker at the edges than the middle?
Concave
Is a concave lens thicker on the edges than in the middle?
no
What is a lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges?
a convex lens
What is a lens called if it is thicker in the middle than at the edges?
It is called a convex lens.
Is a contact lens a diverging or a converging lens?
They can be either. They will converge if thicker in the middle than edges, and diverge if thinner in the middle than edges.
What shape is concave lens?
A spoon that you have put some food into is a concave shape. It is a cavity. A concave lens is such that it is thicker at the edges than in the middle. Convex is the bottom of the spoon. A convex lens is thicker in the centre than around the edges.
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.
What type of glass lenses are fatter in the middle than at the edges called?
Convex lens are thicker in the middle. Concave lens are thinner in the middle.
Is a lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle a concave lens?
Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.
What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?
A convex lens.
