What does concave lenses do to light rays?
a concave lens diverges the light ray travelling in a straight parallel path.
Do Light Rays converge or diverge?
Light rays converge as well as diverge. it depends upon the type of lens or mirror you pass it through. A concave lens or a convex mirror diverges the light whereas a convex lens or a concave mirror converges the light rays!
Why is the focal points of a convex lens is real and concave is virtual?
The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.
What is a source of diverging light rays?
A diverging lens is a lens that diverges rays of light that are traveling parallel to its principal axis, so diverged light is light that had it's direction altered
Can you burn a piece of paper using a convex lens and a bulb of 500 W?
yes, we can as we all know convex lens is a diverging lens,so,it diverges the rays of the sun .When the lens is placed over a paper,it diverges the rays,as a result of which paper burns
What diverges parallel light rays?
a concarve lense
What happens to your eyes when you see sun with your naked eyes?
As intensity of sun light rays are greater so,when we see sun with our naked eyes the sun rays falls on eye lens which is convex which diverges the rays and make it difficult to see
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
How do light rays react differently when they go through a concave lens and through a convex lens?
The photons are absorbed by electrons that they encounter, then re-radiated onward. If the convex lens is in a medium of lower refractive index, the light converges on its way through, and emerges still converging.
What happend to rays of light when they are refracted by a convex lens?
Now suppose that the rays of light are traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens. These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens. As the light rays enter into the more dense lens material, they refract towards the normal; and as they exit into the less dense air, they refract away from the normal. These specific rays will exit the lens traveling parallel to the principal axis.
How do light rays travel after striking a lens?
It depends on the lens. Assuming parallel rays entering the lens: Convex lens - they converge, Concave lens - they dinverge.
What happens when light passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?
The light is delayed longer by the thicker part of the lens than by the thinner part of the lens. This results in the following:convex lens, light rays bend towards the axis of the lensconcave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens
