You are thinking of a lens. If it is to form an image you need a convex lens, also called a converging lens.

A transparent object the forms an image by refracting light is called?

A transparent object that forms an image by refracting light is called a lens. Lens bends light rays as they pass through it, converging or diverging them to create images.


A lens is a transparent object that forms images by?

refracting light. The shape of the lens determines how it refracts light rays, causing them to converge or diverge to form an image. Lenses are used in various optical instruments such as cameras, microscopes, and eyeglasses to focus light and create clear images.


What part of the eye refracts rays and forms the image of an object?

The cornea and the crystalline lens are responsible for refracting light rays to form the image of an object on the retina.


What is a curved transparent object that forms an image by bending light rays?

A lens is.


What part of your eye refracts light?

The retina which is where the image from the eye lens is focused. The retina is the reflective part of the eye. That's why cat's eye reflect so well, their retina are more exposed in the night because their pupils (or whatever they are in a cat) open wider than ours exposing more of that mirror at the back, the retina. Meeow!


What is the difference between lens and lens?

A lens is a piece of curved glass or other transparent material that refracts light to form an image. "Lens" can also refer to the transparent structure in the eye that focuses light onto the retina.


How is a prism different than a convex lens?

A prism is a transparent object with flat surfaces that refracts light by bending it according to the material's refractive index, separating it into its component colors through dispersion. A convex lens, on the other hand, is a transparent object that refracts light to converge or focus the incoming rays to form an image. They differ in their shapes, functions, and the way they manipulate light.


Is a mirror transparent?

the entire object, no because the definition of transparent is 'lets light pass through', and obviously it doesn't because it provides a reflected image, but the glass part is transparent.


Why is the image on a film a negative of the image photographed?

The light coming from the photographed object (not image) reacts to convert the silver bromide (AgBr, transparent colloid)) on the film into black (nontransparent) Ag crystals.This is the negative (reversed) image of the (positive) object.The same story with a dark object: no light, no Ag crystals = not black, still transparent!


What is difference between erect and inverted image?

If the image is upside up view of the given object than it is called Inverted Image. If it remains as the object than it is called Erect Image


What is a curved transparent object that is usually made of glass in a microscope?

The curved transparent object made of glass in a microscope is called a lens. Lenses in microscopes help magnify and focus light passing through the specimen to produce an image. There are typically multiple lenses in a microscope to achieve high magnification and resolution.


Why you do not see image in transparent glass?

We can see through it at the day time because it's light outside but at night when it's dark; switch on the light of the room and you are able to see yourself in the transparent glass.
