What are the two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?
Convex (I prefer converging lenses) lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. This causes the rays to converge towards the principle axis (line running through the center of the lens perpendicular to the surface). two images will be formed. When the object you are viewing is farther from the lens than the focal length you will have an inverted real image. This image can be enlarged (when the object is between the focal length and twice the focal length), the same size (when the object is twice the focal length from the lens) or reduced (when the object is beyond twice the focal length). When the object is closer to the lens than the focal length you are using the lense as a magnifying glass and you will have an upright virtual image.
Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
This depends on the type of lens. If it is a convex lens then they converge at the focus on the other side of the lens. If it is a concave lens, then they diverge and appear to be coming from the focus present on the same side of the lens as the incident ray.
What types of lens would you use to magnify your view of a butterfly?
a concave lense
What is it called when a convex lens focuses light from an image at the focal point?
usually it starts burning something that it is in contact with but im not sure what its called

Explain the shape of a concave lens and a convex lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. A convex lens is like a concave mirror.A concave lens is thinner in the center than at the edges.
