Actually, a lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a convex lens, not a concave lens. Concave lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while convex lenses bulge out in the middle.

What lens has a thinner middle than the edges?

A concave lens has a thinner middle than the edges. This causes light rays passing through the lens to diverge, which is why concave lenses are often used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness.


Is the center of a concave lens thicker than its edges?

No, the center of a concave lens is thinner than its edges. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker towards the edges, causing light rays passing through them to diverge.


Is a lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle a concave lens?

Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.


Which type lens has a thinner middle than the edges?

Concave lens has a thinner middle than the edges. This shape causes light rays passing through it to diverge.


Which lens is THIN in the middle and thiCK At the edges?

A convex lens.


What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?

Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.


Convex lens is thicker than?

Concave lens. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays to converge.


What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?

A convex lens.


What is a concave lens?

A concave lens is a lens that is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges. It is used to correct myopia (nearsightedness) by diverging light rays before they enter the eye, thus helping to focus the image on the retina. Concave lenses are often used in glasses or contact lenses for people with nearsightedness.


What type of glass lenses are fatter in the middle than at the edges called?

Convex lens are thicker in the middle. Concave lens are thinner in the middle.


What are the physical attributes of a convex and a concave lens?

A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to converge at a focal point. A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to diverge.
