What is the difference between concave and convex lens'?
Answer #1convex lens is something they put in your eyes as contacts or in your glasses if you farsited but convex lens makes your image bigger and concave lens makes your image smaller.Answer #2For example, mirrors can be convex, concave and straight, just like glass. The normal mirrors that you use to look at yourself are straight mirrors, they show a normal picture.Do you ever walk into a shop and see a huge bulging mirror in the corner of the shop and you can see just about every corner of the shop in the mirror? well that is a convex mirror. The curved mirrors show a wider view of everything.The concave mirrors are opposite, they "magnify" the image, the concave mirrors make objects larger because the light is focused on a smaller reflection area.This is exactly what happens if you look through glass, that is either a convex or concave.People who are short sighted have glasses with a concavelens, (the lens that indents, you can also remember that it is concave that way because a cave goes in and a concave lens goes in.People who are long sighted wear glasses with convexlenses.
