If you shine a parallel (ie unfocussed) beam of light perpendicular to a convex lens it will focus to a point on the other side. That place is called the focal point of the lens. Its distance to the lens is called the focal length.
No it isn't, because the type of image a convex lens forms depends on where the object is relative to the focal point of the lens.
A compound microscope has two lenses - the eyepiece lens and the objective lens. the objective lens(which is a convex lens) collects light and brings it to focus, creating an image. The eyepiece lens is placed at the focal point(the point at which light rays meetafter passing thru the convex lens). Thus we are able to see the magnified version of the image.
by either moving the object understudy to the focal point of the lens or to move the lens until the object is at the focal point.
They are convex lenses.
You would ask for a telephoto lens in a shop. Scientifically they are convex lenses with longer focal lengths than a normal lens. A normal lens has a focal length between 21 and 35 mm, whereas the medium telephoto lenses used for portraiture have focal lengths between 70 and 135 mm.
Convex lenses have a focal point.
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
a convex lens
A convex lens.
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
Convex lenses cause the focal point to appear behind the lens (positive convergence). In myopia, the focal point lies somewhere between the lens and the retina, it needs to converge at a point farther than it is converging, this is why a convex lens is used, to push the focal point back so it will hit the retina. A concave lens would do the opposite for hyperopia (the focal point appears behind the retina), it will adjust the focal point to lie more anteriorly and land on the retina.
A concave lens and a convex lens are what you're looking for. / | ∙ \
because in a convex lens rays join at a common point after refrection but in case of a concave lens they appears to come from a common point.

A magnifying lens. In a Refracting Telescope, a convex lens focuses light to form an image at the focal point.
All of the light entering the lens converges on the other side to a single point, the lens' focal point.
The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.
