Answer #1
convex lens is something they put in your eyes as contacts or in your glasses if you farsited but convex lens makes your image bigger and concave lens makes your image smaller.
Answer #2
For example, mirrors can be convex, concave and straight, just like glass. The normal mirrors that you use to look at yourself are straight mirrors, they show a normal picture.
Do you ever walk into a shop and see a huge bulging mirror in the corner of the shop and you can see just about every corner of the shop in the mirror? well that is a convex mirror. The curved mirrors show a wider view of everything.
The concave mirrors are opposite, they "magnify" the image, the concave mirrors make objects larger because the light is focused on a smaller reflection area.
This is exactly what happens if you look through glass, that is either a convex or concave.
People who are short sighted have glasses with a concavelens, (the lens that indents, you can also remember that it is concave that way because a cave goes in and a concave lens goes in.
People who are long sighted wear glasses with convexlenses.

Difference between convex and concave lens?
The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.
What is the main difference between how convex and concave lenses affect light?
Concave lenses are thicker at the edges then at the middle. A Convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the center than at its edges.
How will you distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper?
To distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper, hold the lens against the paper with the curved side facing up. If the text appears larger and clearer through the lens, it is a convex lens. If the text appears smaller and upside down through the lens, it is a concave lens.

What is the difference between the virtual image formed by a convex lens and a concave lens?
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
