No, not all light waves that travel through a convex lens pass through the focal point. It depends on the wavelength of the light, since light of different wavelengths diffract at different angles when encountering a change in media, such as air to glass, at an angle. Isaac newton noted this in his study of light and prisms.

What The focal distance of a convex lens is always?

The focal distance of a convex lens is always positive. It is the distance between the lens and the focal point when light rays are parallel and converge after passing through the lens.


What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?

An image that is reflected through a focal point is created by parallel light rays that hit the concave mirror and reflect towards the focal point due to the mirror's curvature. This creates a real, inverted image at the focal point.


How does light travel through a convex lense?

Light passing through a convex lens converges towards a focal point on the opposite side of the lens. The curvature of the lens causes the light rays to bend inward as they pass through, which helps to bring the rays together to form an image. The image will be upside down if the object is outside the focal point, but right side up if the object is within the focal point.


What kind of lens has a focal point?

A converging lens, such as a convex lens, has a focal point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens. This focal point is where the image of an object placed at infinity will be formed.


How does light travel through a concave or convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, spreading out away from each other. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, coming together at a focal point.


Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?

Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.


An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a convex lens see the picture?

An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a convex lens will refract and become parallel to the principal axis. This is a result of the light rays focusing at the focal point after passing through the lens. This property is used in applications such as cameras and projectors.


How does light travel through a carvex lens?

IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.


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.


Do convex lenses have negative focal length?

No, convex lenses have positive focal lengths. The focal length is the distance from the lens to its focal point where light rays converge. In convex lenses, parallel light rays are focused to a point on the opposite side of the lens, resulting in a positive focal length.


What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?

Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.


What is An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a lens?

An incident ray that passes through the focal point of a lens will emerge parallel to the principal axis. This is a property of convex lenses.
