Do flashlights have convex or concave lens?
convex lens
Does fresnel lens is a convex lens?
yes...it is a plano-convex lens....wid grooves cut in it on convex side...it is very very thin as compared to a simple convex lens
What part of a convex lens is thicker?
The convex lens are the converging lens. The periphery of the convex lens is thinner & the center part is thicker. In other words, the convex lens are bulging at the center & thinner at the periphery.
