A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.

∙ 8y agoConverging lenses are the simplest kind of lens. It's called a convex lens. Looked at from the edge both sides curve out, like an American football stretched so it's thin. The light passing through this kind of lens focuses (converges) to a single point. An ordinary magnifying glass is a converging lens. Have you ever used a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on a piece of paper to set it on fire? The rays of sunlight have been brought together at a single point.

A magnifying glass is also called what?
The answer is both convex and converging
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of?
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of refraction. A lens is a device that uses refraction to bend light to form an image.
Which of the following lenses is a converging lens A double-convex lens B spherical-convex lens C plano-concave lens D convexo-concave lens?
Double-convex lens
A transparent object that refracts light to form an image is called what?
You are thinking of a lens. If it is to form an image you need a convex lens, also called a converging lens.
Can a concave lens form a real image?
Never. Since the rays coming from a real object will always be diverging. The action of a concave lens is diverging action. Hence the already diverged rays will be dirverged further. Hence no chance of convergence. Only converging rays would form a real image. Hence the answer, NEVER.
What is a name of a converging lens?
Converging lens is a convex lens.
What is another word for convex lens?
Converging or Converging Lens

Why a convex lens is called converging lens?
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.

Is a magnifying glass a converging lens or a diverging lens?
A converging lens is a simple magnifying glass when the object is within one focal length of the lens. The image is then virtual, magnified, and right-side up.
What are the lenss?
A lens is a device that changes the direction of light.
