What is spherical lens?

Any convex lens bulges out from each side. It is thicker at the centre of the lens and thinner at the edges. I am supposing that a spherical convex lens has convexity on both sides, but on one of those sides the glass is so curved that it has the shape of part of a sphere.


What lens is thicker in the middle than the egdes?

A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges. This shape causes light rays passing through it to converge, making it a converging lens that can focus light to a point.


What causes the shape of the eyeball to change?

The shape of the eyeball can change due to various factors, with the most common being the contraction or relaxation of the ciliary muscles surrounding the lens. This can lead to adjustments in the shape of the lens, allowing the eye to focus on objects at different distances. In conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness), the shape of the eyeball may be naturally elongated or shortened, affecting how light is focused on the retina.


What kind of microscope lens curve outwards and look like a sphere?

A convex lens curve outwards and has a shape similar to a portion of a sphere. This type of lens converges light rays to a focal point, making it suitable for magnifying objects in microscopes.


A jelly-like material behind the lens that helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball?

The jelly-like material behind the lens of the eye is called the vitreous humor. It helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball, support the retina, and transmit light to the back of the eye for visual processing.

How the lens change it shape when foucsing on near objects?

The lens changes its shape by becoming more convex (thicker in the middle) when focusing on near objects. This shape change is controlled by ciliary muscles in the eye that pull on the lens to make it rounder, allowing for proper focusing on close-up objects.


Which lens is a converging lens a double-convex lens or a spherical-convex lens or a plano-concave lens or a convexo-concave lens?

Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
