Take the lens into a place where the sun is shining. Hold the lens between the sunlight and the object you wish to burn. Move the lens nearer or further away until the lens throws a small usually pale blue circle on the object. Hold the lens steady until wisps of smoke appear. Whether the object catches fire will depend upon the nature of the object. Dry paper will burn but wet cloth will only steam until the material is dry.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of lens should be used if you want to make fire with the help of lens using the rays of the sun?
You should use a convex lens to focus sunlight into a concentrated point to make fire. The curvature of the lens helps converge the sunlight, increasing its intensity at the focal point. This concentrated heat can then ignite a flammable material.
How do you make fire with ice?
There is some debate, but you could make a converging lens out of ice. Using the lens, you could concentrate sunlight onto a spot, heating it to the point of combustion,
What type of lens can start a fire?
a convex lens

Why would you use convex lens to start a fire?
A convex lens can concentrate sunlight to a small point, creating intense heat that can ignite materials. By focusing sunlight through a convex lens onto a combustible material, you can generate enough heat to start a fire. This process is called solar or lens fire starting.
Can a concave lens start a fire with the aid of the sun?
No, a concave lens cannot start a fire with the aid of the sun. Concave lenses cause light rays to diverge, which would spread the sunlight out rather than concentrate it to create enough heat to start a fire. For starting a fire with a lens, a convex lens or a magnifying glass is usually used to focus sunlight to a point.
In olden days civilization in South America used a lens to start fire.what kind of lens did they use and how did the fire start?
They Used a Convex Lens
What kind of lens would let you focus the sun rays light to start a fire?
A magnifying lens, like a Fresnel lens or a convex lens, can concentrate sun rays to create a focal point that is intense enough to start a fire. This works by focusing sunlight onto a small area, increasing the temperature and igniting flammable material like paper or dry leaves.
In olden days civilizations in south America use a lens to start a fire what kind of lens did they used and how did the fire start?
Well what u are refrerring to is the process of refraction. They would be using a convex lens. this lens has the ability to refract all the light rays which come from a far distance (known as infinity in physics) towards a common point (called focus). So obviously if all the rays reaching the lens from the sun are refracted by a convex lens they would heat up the point at which all of them converge. this started a fire. this can also be done with a magnifying glass as that also has a convex lens.

Which lens are more mirrored the dragon d1xt gold or the Oakley crowbar fire iridium?
oakley fire iridium
How can a convex lens be useful for making a fire?
A convex lens converges light. If the sun is out, you can concentrate enough light on a point to start a fire. There is an old joke about the Focus Ranch, where the "sons raise meat" -- or where the "suns rays meet".
