What is a curved glass that makes things look closer than they really are?

Curved glass that makes things look larger or closer is a magnifying glass.


The lens you look through magnifies of specimen?

a lens magnifies an object by using the pupal of your eyes and the glass from the lens to look up close. a lens magnifies an object by using the pupal of your eyes and the glass from the lens to look up close.


What type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens?

A microscope uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens to magnify tiny objects for closer examination. The objective lens gathers light from the specimen and forms an enlarged image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.


How does a refracting telescope produce an image?

A refracting telescope works just like a magnifying glass. It uses a convex glass lens (to bend light and bring it into focus. This lens is thicker in the center than it is toward its edges, which bends the light more at the edge of the lens than light coming through the center. This allows all of the light to come together at a focus point. The point of focus is where the image is created. If someone looks into the eyepiece, a concave lens magnifies the image Refracting telescopes have two main problems-images are not always clear because the light is being bent and the size of the lens is limited (which limits the power of the telescope).


Which type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens.?

A compound microscope uses both an objective lens and an eyepiece lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen and provides initial magnification, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing. This combination allows for detailed observation of small objects and biological specimens.

Which lens is used in a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass typically uses a convex lens. This type of lens converges light rays to create a magnified image when placed close to an object.

What kind of lens are used in a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass typically uses a convex lens, which is curved outward, to magnify objects. This type of lens causes the light passing through it to converge, making objects appear larger when viewed through the lens.


What microscope uses two of more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides?

A compound microscope uses two or more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides. The objective lens closest to the specimen magnifies the image, and the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing.


Does electricity pass through camera lens?

Assuming the lens of the camera is made of glass, the answer is no. Glass is a very good insulator and it would an extremely large current (along the order of lightning) to overcome the insulating properties inherent in glass.


Which kind of lens is used in a magnitfying glass?

A magnifying glass typically uses a convex lens, which is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges. This type of lens bends light rays inward to converge at a focal point, creating a magnified image of an object when viewed through the lens.


How is a lens different from a piece of glass?

Nothing but shape. A lens is just a curved piece of glass, as well as glass being a straight lens. A lens bends the light while glass does not*. *Assuming the glass is straight

What type of lens does the magnifying glass use?

A magnifying glass typically uses a converging lens, which is thicker in the middle and tapers towards the edges to bend and focus light rays. This helps to magnify and enhance the view of small objects when they are positioned at the focal point of the lens.


What kind of lens if used in a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass typically uses a convex lens to magnify objects by bending light rays inward, causing them to converge. This lens is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges, allowing for the enlargement and clarification of objects when placed at the correct focal distance.
