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.


How does light travel through a concave or convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, spreading out away from each other. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, coming together at a focal point.


How does light travel through concave and convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, causing image formation behind the lens. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, resulting in image formation on the opposite side of the lens. The specific path of light through these lenses is determined by the refraction of light rays at the surfaces of the lens.


Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?

All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, including through a telescope lens. The speed of light is determined by the medium it travels through; in air or a lens, all colors of light travel at the same speed.


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 a lens bring diverging light rays to parallel tracks?

A lens brings diverging light rays to parallel tracks by refracting the light rays as they pass through the lens. The shape of the lens causes the light rays to converge and then diverge again, ultimately causing them to travel in parallel paths.


What does light traveling through a lens look like?

Light traveling through a lens appears to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens. In a converging lens, the light rays come together at a focal point after passing through the lens, whereas in a diverging lens, the light rays spread out. The path of light through a lens can be visualized using ray diagrams.


How does light go through a lens?

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


What is the term for an image through which light does not really travel?

The term for an image through which light does not really travel is "virtual image." These images are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays that appear to come from a point behind a mirror or lens, but do not actually pass through.


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
