The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller.
Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.
What else can I help you with?
How will you distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper?
To distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper, hold the lens against the paper with the curved side facing up. If the text appears larger and clearer through the lens, it is a convex lens. If the text appears smaller and upside down through the lens, it is a concave lens.
What is the difference between the virtual image formed by a convex lens and a concave lens?
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
What is Another name of convex and concave lens?
A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging lens.
What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?
A double convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to converge. A double concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to diverge.
Is a magnifying lens concave or convex in shape?
A magnifying lens is typically convex in shape.
What is a difference between a concave and convex lens?
A concave lens is a lens in which the ends are thicker than the middle, rather shaped like this ---> )( A convex lens is a lens in which the ends are thinner than the middle, shaped like the following ---> ()
What is the main difference between how convex and concave lenses affect light?
Concave lenses are thicker at the edges then at the middle. A Convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the center than at its edges.

Which type of lens magniies - convex or concave?
A convex lens magnifies.
What lens is a converging lens double-convex spherical-convex plano-concave or convexo-concave lens?
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
What is Another name of convex and concave lens?
A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging lens.
When does a concave lens act as convex lens?
A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .
