What happens to the path of light as it strikes a mirror and then a hand lens?
It is reflected at an opposite angle, and focused by the lens.
When light strikes a convex lens the light beam?
Is bent towards a focal point.
How does a convex lens change the path of light?
it bends the light toward a single point
What does concave lenses do to light rays?
a concave lens diverges the light ray travelling in a straight parallel path.
How does a lens form image?
It changes the path of the light rays (or rather the photons) radiating from the object in question.

What happens to light when it strikes a lens?
light bends when it hits the lens....this is called refraction

Is bent towards a focal point.
Does the lens of the eye control the amount of light that strikes the retina?
False :)

How is light reflected absorbed diffracted and diffused through a camera?
Light is diffracted and diffused as it enters the lens. Because the lens is not perfectly clear, some light is reflected. As the light strikes the sensor, it is absorbed and converted into electronic information.
What does concave lenses do to light rays?
a concave lens diverges the light ray travelling in a straight parallel path.

It changes the path of the light rays (or rather the photons) radiating from the object in question.
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
How is the path of light through a converging lens like the path of light through a prism?
There are two main areas of similarity. The first is that light passes through a converging lens as well as through a prism. This may sound trivial, but light will not pass through a block of wood! The second similarity is that in both situations the rays of light will be refracted: they will be bent at the boundaries between the different media.
What 2 ways does light bend?
Reflection means complete change in path when light strikes a mirror and refraction means bending of a ray of light when passing from on medium to another.
How do glasses solve the problem of short and long sightedness?
Short and long sightedness are caused by the lens of the eye focusing the light either in front of or behind the retina. Glasses alter the path of light going into the lens to adjust for this.
