Thick because the thicker the lens the further the focal point will be because it will push it more

Do thick convex lenses have longer or shorter focal lengths than thin convex lenses?
As a thicker lens has more material to do bend the light further it it would have a shorter focal length
What is the difference between a thick convex lens and a thin convex lens?
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.
Do thick concave lenses have longer or shorter focal lengths than thin concave lenses?
It have a shorter focal length because there is more time for the light rays to come together
How is the focal length of a spherical mirror be affected when the wavelength of the light used is increased?
The focal length of the mirror is a property of the geometry of the mirror. It doesn'tdepend on the wavelength of radiation that's incident upon it. For that matter, themirror could be wrapped in thick black flannel, sealed in an airtight lead box, andstored in a pitch-dark underground cavern, without a single photon hitting it, andit would still have a focal length.
Which lens is THIN in the middle and thiCK At the edges?
A convex lens.

Why do thick lenss show chromatic aberration but thin lenss do not?
because thick lenses have small focal length . this causes chromatic aberration. hence it can be minimised by increacing the focal length of lens or by using thin lenses which have high focal length.

Is a convex mirror thin in the middle and thick at the edged?
No, that's concave Convex is thin at the edges and thick in the middle.

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.
What are lenses with thick centers and thin edges called?
Convex lenses
Which has the greater resistance thick wire or a thin of the same length?
The thermal resistance of a wire is proportional to ln(r2/r1), meaning that a thicker wire has a greater thermal resistance.
What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?
A convex lens.
What becomes thick or thin as needed to allow the eye to focus?
It is done in following ways: 1. By placing a proper(convex or concave etc.) lens with an apt value of focal length so that the final image is obtained exactly on the retina. 2. For very distant or small images two lenses are used with fix value of focal length. Among these two one lens is movable. So by shifting position of one lens we can get a sharp image of object. 3. Naturaly our eye lens are connected to various nerves which either by compression or expansion allows our eyes to focus. Yes in this process the thickness of our eye lens(natural) changes.
