What part of a convex lens is thicker?

The convex lens are the converging lens. The periphery of the convex lens is thinner & the center part is thicker. In other words, the convex lens are bulging at the center & thinner at the periphery.


What part is thicker than the other in a convex lens?

In a convex lens, the middle is thicker than the outer rim. In a concave lens, the outside rim is thicker.


What part of a microscope contains the lens with low power magnification?

The eyepiece lens of a compound microscope acts essentially a low power (x10 or so) magnifier of the real image created by the objective lens.


If you look up close at an ant using a convex lens what do you see?

An upright, enlarged, virtual image of the ant. APEX CHEATER i love kaylee


What is concave len explain in detail?

In case of concave lens the edges will be thicker compared to the central part. Whereas the convex lens has edges so thin compared to the central part. Concave lens would have only divergence effect. Parallel beam of light falling on one side of the concave lens after refraction would come out from the other side diverging out and so they appear to come from a point on the incident side of lens. So no real image is obtained. Thus the image will be a virtual image. If converging rays fall on the concave lens after refraction may be still converging but it convergence will be reduced a little bit and so instead forming a real image nearby the concave lens it will be formed somehow far away from the lens.

What is the thickest part of a camera lens?

It depends whether it's a concave or convex lens. If it's a convex lens - the thickest part is at the centre. With a concave lens, the thickest part is around the edge.

What is a Spherical-convex lens?

Any convex lens bulges out from each side. It is thicker at the centre of the lens and thinner at the edges. I am supposing that a spherical convex lens has convexity on both sides, but on one of those sides the glass is so curved that it has the shape of part of a sphere.

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 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


What part focuses light?

A parabolic mirror best focuses light onto a spot. Or a convex lens will do similar. In the eye, the lens towards the front of the eye focuses light onto the retina, where the light sensitive cells lie.


Which lens have zero power?

A flat piece of glass. Also, any lens where the shape of the convex part matches the shape of the concave part. An example would be a flat piece of glass bent over a sphere.


Why is the image in your eye produced upside down before it is flipped by the brain?

if there is an object before a lens at a distance more than its focal length and is surrounded by a rarer medium it always forms the image on the other side of lens and is inverted w.r.tobject. our eye lens will simply act like a biconvex lens whose focal length is around 2.5cm . there fore images formed on the retina will be inverted and they are made upright by the brain system.


Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?

Eyepiece, Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror, Prime Focus.


What part of speech in convex?

"Convex" is an adjective.
