Yes, a magnifying glass is also known as a hand lens. Both terms refer to a convex lens that is used to magnify objects for closer inspection. They are often handheld and commonly used for tasks such as reading small print or examining small objects.
Everything a lens does is the result of the change of refractive index at its surface.If the lens is surrounded by a medium with the same refractive index as the glass,then there is no refraction (bending) of light at the glass surface, and the lens is nolonger a lens. If you could find such a liquid, you might not even be able to see thatthere's a lens down there in it.
Place an object between a magnifying lens and its focal point. The image is right side up and larger than the object
the medium which have the same refractive index as glass.
The amount of heat a magnifying glass can concentrate is dependent on the amount of light the magnifying glass can concentrate. I will use some math here and at the same time neglect the reflectance of the lens. So start by finding the area of the service of the glass in terms of square meters. For instance a lens with a 4" diameter would have an area of roughly 8.107E-3 square meters. Now take the area of the dot made by the focused light. Find the area of that light, maybe by quickly burning a spot on something wood. The ratio of the areas of those circles will be the same ratio of the concentration of the light. If the size of the burned dot is 2mm in diameter it will have an area of 3.142E-6 square meters. The lens is about 2500 times as large as the dot so ideally the the power would be increased by the same factor. Nothing is ideal so there's substantially less energy focused. At this distance the Sun delivers 1000 watts per square meter so a lens of that area would only have 8 watts incident upon it if it were perpendicular to the rays of light. Those 8 watts would then be concentrated on such a small area the temperature would increase rapidly.
Diverging lenses produce virtual, upright, and diminished images for all object positions. The virtual image is located on the same side of the lens as the object and is always reduced in size. This is due to the diverging nature of the lens, which causes light rays to spread out.
They are about the same thing, one just has no rim and handle.
Yes, its just that a magnifying glass has a different prescription than eyeglasses.
Magnifying glass is thing which we hold in our hand to magnify a certain thing and we can adjust its magnification with our hand. But the simple microscope which has the same property (or better principle) of a magnifying glass, is fixed to a scale for adjusting through a knob. If you have ever seen a travelling microscope, you would have seen a small lens attached to the vernier scale. this is not a magnifying glass but a simple microscope with a specific/fixed magnification of the scale for eyes.
It's the same thing.

Early microscopes were indeed a single blob of glass. It was found that using one lens after another, would multiply the magnification. Most laboratory microscopes have a choice of objective lenses of different magnifications, whilst the eyepiece remains the same.

you look at the bottom right hand corner which has different signatures even though they are by the same artist. just move the magnifying glass over each signature and you will pass.
It's quite easy- take a magnifying glass and a dry piece of a paper ( preferably newspaper ) and go to a place where appropriate sunlight is available. Let the light of sun fall on to the magnifying glass. Bring the piece of paper beneath the magnifying glass. Now your objective is to move the magnifying glass up and down in such a way that the light emerging from the magnifying glass concentrates to a point. Hold the both things in the same position for a while, and soon you will be able to see the miracle, fire without a matchstick ! Enjoy!
Look at the signatures on the three paintings. One of them is not the same.
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.
