The lens in a door peephole is a convex lens with a very short

focal length, giving it a wide field of view. If it were on a camera,

it would be called a "Fisheye lens".

Can a Concave lens be use as an eyepiece in a microscope?

Yes, a concave lens can be used as an eyepiece in a microscope to help magnify the image being viewed. Concave lenses are often used to decrease the focal length and adjust the magnification of the microscope.


If Jane is myopic. Will she need concave or convex lenses explain?

If Jane is myopic (nearsighted), she will need concave lenses to correct her vision. Concave lenses help to diverge light rays before they enter the eye, bringing the focal point forward to the retina, which helps to focus distant objects clearly for someone with myopia.


What is a positive lens the same as?

A positive lens is also called a magnifying lens. It has convex surfaces and it has a measureable focal length where it produces an inverted image of a distant object. The power in dioptres is the reciprocal of the focal length in metres.


What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?

The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.


If the primary mirror of a telescope have a focal length of 225 centimeters and the eyepiece has a focal length of 7.5 millimeters then what is the magnifying power of the telescope?

The magnifying power of a telescope is the focal length of the scope in millimeters, divided by the focal length of the eyepiece in millimeters. Focal length of scope: 225cm=2250mm Focal length of eyepiece: 7.5mm 2250/7.5= 300X

Why focal length of convex lens is easier to find than a concave lense?

The focal length of a convex lens is easier to find than a concave lens because for a convex lens, the focal length is positive and is measured from the lens to the focal point. In contrast, for a concave lens, the focal length is negative and the rays of light are diverged. This makes it more challenging to find the focal point accurately.


What is the positive lens is the same as?

The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.


A concave lens is kept in contact with convex lens of focal length 20cm the combination works as a converging lens of focal length 100cmcalculate the power of concave lens?

i think it is -0.06m i.e. 6cm


The distance between a mirror and its focal point is called the?

Focal length, positive number with a concave mirror, negative for a convex mirror.


Length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to its principal focus?

It is called the focal length. It is equal to 1/2 times r, and is positive on concave mirrors and negative on convex mirrors.


What is important in concave and convex mirror?

In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.


What is formula for concave lens?

The formula for a concave lens is the same as for a convex lens, which is given by the lens formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u, where f is the focal length of the lens, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance. For a concave lens, the focal length is considered negative.


What will happen to the focal length of a concave mirror or a convex mirror when the incident violet light on them is replaced by red light?

Nothing. The focal length is defined as point where all of the light converges after passing through the lens ( for a convex mirror)and only depends on the mirror's curvature. So changing the incident light ray will cause no change in the focal length of the mirror.


What is the focal length of concave mirror of radius 20cm?

The focal length of a concave mirror is half of its radius of curvature. Therefore, for a concave mirror with a radius of 20 cm, the focal length would be 10 cm.


Why the study was under taken of focal length of a convex lens by graphical method?

to determine the focal length of a convex mirror.


What is the relationship between the radius of curvature and focal length in a concave mirror?

In a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.


Does a concave lens affect light more like a concave mirror or a convex mirror?

A concave lens behaves more like a concave mirror because it diverges light rays away from a focal point, whereas a convex mirror converges light rays towards a focal point.
