In optics, a thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical axis between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the focal length of the lens. Lenses whose thickness is not negligible are sometimes called thick lenses.

What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
What lens is thick in the middle and thin at the edge?
convex lens
Which lens is THIN in the middle and thiCK At the edges?
A convex lens.
Whats the difference between thick and thin lens?
The diffrence between thick and thin lens depends on your precription for your eyes.
What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?
Convex lens give a virtual & diminished image while concave lens give inverted virtual in rare case & magnified image.

What is a difference between a concave and convex lens?
A concave lens is a lens in which the ends are thicker than the middle, rather shaped like this ---> )( A convex lens is a lens in which the ends are thinner than the middle, shaped like the following ---> ()
What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?

What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?
A convex lens.
Difference between convex and concave lens?
The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.
Will the focal length be greater in a thick or thin convex lens?
Thick because the thicker the lens the further the focal point will be because it will push it more
What are the differences between convex lens and biconvex lens?
A convex lens has one flat side and one curved side --> |) A biconvex lens has both sides curved --> ()
What is the main difference between how convex and concave lenses affect light?
Concave lenses are thicker at the edges then at the middle. A Convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the center than at its edges.
What is the difference between the virtual image formed by a convex lens and a concave lens?
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
