The rainbow turns your eye into a rainbow that poops unicorns LOL jk, here the real answer:

it is flipped 180 degrees, bounced off the inside, and received in the cones. the brain then processes and flips the image.

Is it possible for a lens to act as a convergent lens in one medium and a divergent lens in another?

Yes. A lens makes use of the property that when light travels from a less dense medium (air) into a more dense medium (glass) it bends toward the surface normal. And when it travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the surface normal. So if the lens were placed in a more dense medium then itself the typical direction of light bending would be reversed. You should get a complete reversal of the roles played by a convex lens and a concave lens if you made a cavity inside a glass block in the shape of a lens. A concave glass lens in air does not give a real image but a concave cavity in a glass block should give a real image, in the block.


Why don't transition lenses get dark in hot weather?

What some people call Transitions, a registered trademark, lens are designed and built to react to light levels. Low light the lens stay transparent, when bright light hits the lens the way the lens are made makes the lens change to the apropriate level of dark in a fraction of a second.


Which correctly describes the path of a light ray that passes through a convex lens parallel to the major axis?

The light ray will bend towards the major axis, aiming for the focal point.


How do bicycle reflectors work?

The lens is made up of many tiny geometric shapes that reflect the light back to source rather than let the light through the lens. There is often a silvered coating on the reflector back to enhance the reflective properties of the lens.


Which phenomenon of light accounts for the formation of images by a lens?

refraction

What is a lens that spreads light apart?

A concave lens spreads light apart due to its diverging nature. When light rays pass through a concave lens, they refract in such a way that they diverge away from each other. This results in the spreading out of light rays when they pass through the concave lens.


What lenses refract light outward and are thinner in the middle?

its a concave lens(:


What is concave lens and prisms?

A concave lens is a lens that is thinner at the center than at the edges. It causes light rays to spread out, diverging as they pass through the lens. A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that can refract, reflect, or disperse light.


What effect does concave lens have on the parallel light rays passing through it?

A concave lens will cause parallel light rays passing through it to diverge or spread out. This is because the lens is thinner in the middle than at the edges, causing the light rays to refract in a way that makes them spread apart.


What will a concave lens cause light rays passed through it to do?

A concave lens will cause light rays passing through it to diverge or spread out. This is because concave lenses are thinner at the center than at the edges, causing the light rays to refract away from the principal axis.


What causes light rays passing through it to diverge?

A concave lens causes light rays passing through it to diverge because it is thinner at the center than at the edges. This shape causes the light rays to refract away from the optic axis, resulting in divergence.


What ray is parallel to the axis of a concave lens?

A ray parallel to the axis of a concave lens will refract through the lens and appear to have come from the focal point on the same side as the object.


What is designed to refract light in a certain way?

A lens is designed to refract light in a certain way. Lens shape can manipulate how light rays converge or diverge to create focused images. Different types of lenses, such as convex or concave, refract light differently according to their shape.


What happens to light rays when they enter a concave lens?

When light rays enter a concave lens, they diverge or spread out due to the shape of the lens. The lens causes the light rays to refract, so they do not come together at a single point like with a convex lens. This spreading out of light rays is what makes concave lenses useful for correcting myopia or nearsightedness.


Why are light beams falling along the optical axis of the concave lens not refracted?

Light beams falling along the optical axis of a concave lens do not refract because they are already passing through the center of curvature of the lens, where the refractive index and hence the angle of refraction is zero. This means that the light beams travel straight through without being bent.


How does light refracts as it travels through a concave lens?

As light passes through a concave lens, it refracts outward, causing the light rays to diverge. This is because the concave lens is thinnest at the center, causing the light waves passing through it to spread apart. The point at which the refracted light rays appear to converge is known as the focal point.


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.
