A lens and a mirror both serve to bend light in a particular way. A lens bends the angle at which the light goes, while a mirror reflects the light away.

Lens is singular, btw: one lens, many lenses.

Similarity between convex lens and concave lens?
they are both lenses and form images
How many convex lenses does a refracting telescope have?
At least two, but may have many. Depends on the design of the telescope.
What type of lens does a reflecting telescope use?
A reflecting telescope only uses lenses in the eyepiece. Light is picked up and an image produced by using a concave parabolic mirror.
What is the relationship between the type and the attitude of an image?
the relationship is that in order to have an image u have to have a special type of attituede like nice and sweet also it ddepends on the type of person and there attitude ^^^ Don't listen to this whatsoever. Now, the attitude of the image describes whether the image is upright or inverted, correct? And the type of image is real or virtual. Now, the relationship between the two is the same for all types of mirrors/lenses. With concave mirrors, when the image is real then it is inverted, whereas when it's virtual it is upright. With convex mirrors when the image is virtual it is also upright, and although I haven't seen a real image on convex mirror ray diagrams, theoretically if the image was real it would be inverted. With a diverging lens if the image is virtual it is upright and as with the convex lens although I have never seen a real image on a ray diagram for a diverging lens it would theoretically be inverted. Finally, with a converging lens if the image is real then it's inverted and if it's virtual it is upright. So, the relationship between attitude and image is this: If the type of image is real, the attitude of the image is inverted. If the type of image is virtual, the attitude of the image is upright.
Do televisions use lenses?
Depends on the Tv. Projection tv's use lenses.
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Are objective lenses concave or convex?
Objective lenses are convex lenses.
What are two type of lenses?
convex and concave
What are the differences between concave and convex lenses?
Concave lenses curve inwardly.Convex lenses curve outwardly.* See related links.
Do binoculors have concave or convex lenses?
i think they have convex lenses
How are concave and convex lenses different?
Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).
How can you remember the difference between convex and concave lenses?
A concave surface curves inward. Cave-in
Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.
Do cameras have concave or convex lenses?
yes
Similarity between convex lens and concave lens?
they are both lenses and form images
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.
Where do you find concave and convex lenses around your house?
windows if u have a old camera or binoculars,u could open them up and get the concave and convex lenses from there.
