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.

Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
convex
Do binoculars have convex lenses?
Yes they do. They also include concave mirrors and a plane mirror.
Is a convex mirror thin in the middle and thick at the edged?
No, that's concave Convex is thin at the edges and thick in the middle.
Is a reflecting telescope cancave or convex?
The telescope is cylindrical. Its primary mirror is concave.
Can a Concave lens be use as an eyepiece in a microscope?
Concave lenses are used in the eyepieces of microscopes. However, they are not used alone on the eyepiece, but are joined in a concave-convex combination to prevent internal reflections.
Difference between concave and convex in the dark?
concave is inward, convex is outward concave is inward, convex is outward
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
How can you remember the difference between convex and concave lenses?
A concave surface curves inward. Cave-in
What is the difference between a concave polygon and a convex polygon?
Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.
Difference of non convex and convex?
A non convex is a concave and a convex is differently shaped
What is the difference between a concave and a convex polygon?
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
What is difference between cancave and canvex?
Concave curves in (like a cave) = ) and convex curves out = (
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 the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Is a jeweller's mirror concave or convex?
concave
What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
