Which are a characteristic of the lens?
A glass lens can be concave or convex. This shape is what gives glass the properties of a lens by bending the light.
The lens you look through magnifies of specimen?
a lens magnifies an object by using the pupal of your eyes and the glass from the lens to look up close. a lens magnifies an object by using the pupal of your eyes and the glass from the lens to look up close.
What type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens?
Microscope.
What uses mirrors to focus light from the object being viewed a refracting telescope or a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to concentrate the light from distant stars, and is a very useful technique. There are very clever techniques and technicians, which can produce a mirror perfect over all its area, to within part of the wavelength of light!! The alternative method of using a glass lens, suffers from various difficulties, such as distortion and loss of light. You do not ordinarily consider focus in an astronomical telescope, for all the stellar objects are essentially at infinity.
Curved glass that bends light rays?
A lens is a curved glass that refracts or bends light rays. The two principal types of lenses are convex and concave.
What is the name of lens the watch makers glass is a?
The magnifying lens that a watchmaker uses for detail work is called a loop.
Is the glass magnifying glass the same as the glass of eyeglasses?
Yes, its just that a magnifying glass has a different prescription than eyeglasses.
Does electricity pass through camera lens?
Assuming the lens of the camera is made of glass, the answer is no. Glass is a very good insulator and it would an extremely large current (along the order of lightning) to overcome the insulating properties inherent in glass.
How is a lens different from a piece of glass?
Nothing but shape. A lens is just a curved piece of glass, as well as glass being a straight lens. A lens bends the light while glass does not*. *Assuming the glass is straight
What type of microscope uses electromagnets to focus an illuminating beam instead of glass lens?
an electron microscope
What microscope uses two of more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides?
All microscopes use more than 1 lens. A magnifying device with only 1 lens is called a magnifying glass.
Watch repair uses a converse lens?
Because we can see clear and large r
Which are a characteristic of the lens?

What is the name for the glass in a magnifying glass?
a lens..a converging lens to be exact
What is 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.

How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
