What type of lens can focus the suns rays?
Bi-Convex lens can be used to focus the Sun's rays
Why diverging lens cannot be used as magnifying glass?
a diverging lens can not be used as a magnifying glass becuase a diverging lens( concave) lens diverges the the rays cousing the image to not be erect, but upside down. While magnifying glass ( convex) is used as it is a converging lens which focuses the rays in one point of an objects making it magnifies and erect.( right way up)
What is the magnifying glass to do the light rays?
Depending on whether it's a convex or concave lens - Either concentrate the rays to a point - or diverge them to infinity !
How does a lens magnify the object in a microscope?
A convex lens bends the light that goes through it toward a focal point. The light spreads out again past this focal point. Magnifying glasses are convex lenses. When you use one, the lens bends the light rays so that they come together and focus on the lens within your eye. The light then spreads out as the rays continue past the focal point, and they hit the retina of the eye. The spreading of the light makes the image viewed appear much larger than it really is because it causes the image to take up more space on the retina. Moving the magnifying glass closer or farther away from the eye will change how much the light is spread on the retina. The closer the magnifying glass is to the eye, the bigger the image will appear.For short the lense bends light and reflects it back to make it look bigger. LoL what a invention :D
Why is a magnifying glass considered an Optical Device?
Because a magnifying glass is made of of convex lens. It converses light rays and magnifies the objects seen through it.

What do magnifying glasses do to light?
It concentrates the rays to one point because it is a converging lens.
How does a light microscope use optical lenses to magnify objects?

What parameters determine the magnifying power of a simple lens?
There are 2 parameters that are needed to determine the magnifying power of a simple lens. These parameters include the distance that is found between the central plain of the lens and the point at which the rays of light pass through the lens.
What lenss is a converging lens?
A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.
What happens to light rays that travel parallel to optical axis as they pass through a convex lens?
The rays are diffracted toward the center of the lens. This is the principal used in reading and magnifying glasses.

What is a focus of the lens?
The distance at which the light rays bent by the lens (or mirror) converge into a coherent image.
