A positive lens is also called a magnifying lens. It has convex surfaces and it has a measureable focal length where it produces an inverted image of a distant object. The power in dioptres is the reciprocal of the focal length in metres.
All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, including through a telescope lens. The speed of light is determined by the medium it travels through; in air or a lens, all colors of light travel at the same speed.
No, you cannot simply switch the lenses between eyes, even if they have the same prescription. Each lens is uniquely designed to match the specific curvature of that eye, so they are not interchangeable. The left lens is meant for the left eye, and the right lens is meant for the right eye for optimal vision correction.
The "ease" with which light travels through a lens has to do with the material the lens is made of. If a concave and convex lens are both made of the same material, say, silicon glass, then the light behaves in an identical way within both lenses. What happens on the front and back sides of the surface of the lens is a different story. This is because the light will be reflected and refracted differently by the different lenses because of their shape. But the light behaves the same way within both lenses as it is passing through.
Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.Any incident ray traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract through the lens and travel parallel to the principal axis.An incident ray that passes through the center of the lens will in effect continue in the same direction that it had when it entered the lens.
The medium lens on the nosepiece of a microscope is typically the 10x objective lens. This lens is often referred to as the "low power" lens and is used for general observation and initial focusing of the specimen.
The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

A concave lens produces a virtual image with a negative magnification. This means that the image is smaller than the actual object and appears on the same side as the object.
A concave lens is called a negative lens because it causes light rays passing through it to diverge, or spread out. This is in contrast to a convex lens, which converges light rays and is called a positive lens. The negative or positive designation refers to the effect the lens has on the light rays.
A lens with a negative focal length diverges light rays and creates virtual images, while a lens with a positive focal length converges light rays and forms real images.
The image distance (61 cm) is positive since the image is on the same side of the lens as the object. Using the lens formula (1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i), where d_o is the object distance (12 cm) and d_i is the image distance, the focal length (f) of the lens is approximately 15 cm.
If the lens equation yields a negative image distance, then the image is a virtual image on the same side of the lens as the object. If it yields a negative focal length, then the lens is a diverging lens rather than the converging lens in the illustration.
The lens with the greatest (positive) curvature. The lens with the highest diopter.
No, the optical center of a lens is the point on the lens axis that is unaffected by refraction, while the geometric center is the physical center of the lens. The two may not coincide depending on the shape and design of the lens.
The focal distance of a convex lens is always positive. It is the distance between the lens and the focal point when light rays are parallel and converge after passing through the lens.
