IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.

Does light travel faster through air or through lens?

Air.


What happens to light rays when they travel through concave lens?

When they are entering a concave lens they are refracted and bend away from each other.

Do all light waves that travel through a convex lens always pass through the focal point?

No, not all light waves that travel through a convex lens pass through the focal point. It depends on the wavelength of the light, since light of different wavelengths diffract at different angles when encountering a change in media, such as air to glass, at an angle. Isaac Newton noted this in his study of light and prisms.


What are the three laws governing light passing through a converging lens?

Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.Any incident ray traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract through the lens and travel parallel to the principal axis.An incident ray that passes through the center of the lens will in effect continue in the same direction that it had when it entered the lens.


How does light go through a lens?

Light goes in the lens, refraction occurs, and the light exits the lens.


Does light travel easier through a convex lens or a concave lens?

The "ease" with which light travels through a lens has to do with the material the lens is made of. If a concave and convex lens are both made of the same material, say, silicon glass, then the light behaves in an identical way within both lenses. What happens on the front and back sides of the surface of the lens is a different story. This is because the light will be reflected and refracted differently by the different lenses because of their shape. But the light behaves the same way within both lenses as it is passing through.


How many lenses does the light pass through between the light source and your eye?

how does light effect your eye? In a compound light microscope? The light passes through three lenses between the light source and your eye. The first lens is the condenser lens.. The second lens is the objective lens. The third and final lens is the Eyepiece, also known as, the ocular lens. This is the lens you look through. These are the lenses that light must pass through to get from the light source to your eye.


What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?

Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens


What part of the eye does light pass through?

the light travels through the conjunctiva,cornea,aques humour , pupil,the lens and the vitreous humour. it will also partially travel through the retina.


How does a physical filter transmit light to a camera?

The filter sits at the end of the lens. All light cannot enter the camera without first going through the lens. And light cannot enter the lens without going through the filter, so the light goes through the fliter, then through the lens, then into the camera


How a hand lens works?

a lens works when light goes through it and refracts (bends) inside the lens. so the light
