Why cannot the lenses in eyes be concave in shape?
BECAUSE YOUR EYES ARE SHAPED CONVEX LIKE MEANING THEY CURVE OUTWARD BUT IF THEY WERE TO BE CONCAVE YOUR VISION WOULD BE BLURRED AND WOULD DAMAGE EVERYTHING IN YOUR EYES LIKE THE PUPIL AN CORNEA
Explain the shape of a concave lens and a convex lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. A convex lens is like a concave mirror.A concave lens is thinner in the center than at the 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.
Which lens is a converging lens a double-convex lens or a spherical-convex lens or a plano-concave lens or a convexo-concave lens?
Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
What is a shape of a convex mirror?
Imagine if you cut a mirror shaped like a ball in half. The inside half is the concave mirror, and the outside half is a convex mirror.
How many types of lenses to compound light microscopes have?
Compound microscopes usually have two types of lenses, the concave and convex. The concave is more of an hourglass shape, while the convex is more of a rounder shape.
Is an oval a convex or concave shape?
convex
Is a star concave?
A geometric star shape is concave. A star that is in the sky is convex.
What lens is a converging lens double-convex spherical-convex plano-concave or convexo-concave lens?
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.

Is an arrowhead a concave shape?
An arrow can have both concave and convex surfaces, depending in its design.
Is a heart a convex or concave shape?
Convex. The hearts inward point makes this so.

What is a disorder when the nails grow concave rather than convex?
Aside from the shape of the free edge, what is the difference between the oval-shape nail and the round-shape nail?
What shape does concave and convex lens make?
Concave is thinner in the center than the edges and convex lens is thicker in the center than on the edges :)
A pool is in the shape of a polygon. The segments and vertices of the polygon are shown. Is this polygon convex or concave?
concave
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.
