Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)
Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)
Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.
You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).

Can lenses be planar convex or concave?
Yes, lenses can be planar convex or concave. A planar convex lens has one flat surface and one convex surface, while a planar concave lens has one flat surface and one concave surface. These types of lenses are less common compared to standard convex and concave lenses.
What are the types of lenses and mirrors?

Is a lenses in glasses concave or convex?
Lenses can be concave or convex depending on their shape. Concave lenses curve inward and are thinner in the center, causing light to diverge. Convex lenses curve outward and are thicker in the center, causing light to converge. Glasses can have either concave or convex lenses, depending on what vision correction is needed.
How are concave convex and biofocle lenses alike?
Concave, convex, and bifocal lenses are all types of optical lenses that are used to correct vision problems. Concave lenses are thinner in the center and thicker at the edges, diverging light rays. Convex lenses are thicker in the center and thinner at the edges, converging light rays. Bifocal lenses have two different optical powers, typically one for distance vision and one for near vision, allowing individuals with presbyopia to see clearly at different distances.
How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?
Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Are objective lenses concave or convex?
Objective lenses are convex lenses.
What are two type of lenses?
convex and concave
Do binoculors have concave or convex lenses?
i think they have convex lenses

Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
Microscopes primarily use convex lenses. Convex lenses converge light rays to create a magnified image. There are also compound microscopes that incorporate both convex and concave lenses to enhance the quality of the image.
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.
Where do you find concave and convex lenses around your house?
windows if u have a old camera or binoculars,u could open them up and get the concave and convex lenses from there.
