Yes, they do. Parallel Lines do meet at Infinity. Right, how to prove it. Experiment to prove : Take a comb ( obviously the lines should be parallel). take it to a dark room and apply light to it from a torch. You can see that at some poin in the wall The lines do meet. This proves my theory. This idea is also proposed by my guru Mr. Maria Das.

What do parallel lines do when they hit a convex lens?

Parallel rays after hitting the convex lens meet all at the focus of the lens.


How can you calculate parallel force?

Parallel forces are forces acting in parallel lines. If two parallel forces act in same direction, they are called like parallel forces. If two parallel forces act in opposite directions, they are called unlike parallel forces.


What is the difference between parallel from circuit?

Parallel means 2 straight lines that never meet. You can continue drawing the lines forever and they do not cross. They can travel in any direction but they most be travelling the exact same way and have the same distance between them no matter what. A circuit, however is 1 closed line (similar to a circle) that has no beginning or end. It can be in any shape but it must be closed.


What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?

The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).


What does the phrase converge at the poles mean?

The Earth is imagined to have lines drawn on it, called lines of longitude, which pass through both the north and the south poles, forming circles around the world. Since they come together at both poles, they are said to converge, meaning, they get closer and meet. As they move away from the poles, they move apart, and therefore they diverge at the equator. Then they converge again as the approach the opposite pole.

Where do parallel lines meet?

Parallel lines meet in infinity(they don't meet at all)


Do parallel lines meet in geometry?

In reality they would never meet. But mathematically speaking, they would meet at infinity. Infinity is only a relative term.


How two parallel lines appear to meet each other after a certain distance?

infinity


Will a set of parallel lines ever meet?

In a Euclidean plane they would never meet. Another way of putting it is to say that they will meet at a point at infinity.


Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?

Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.


What objects do not touch?

Two Parallel Lines will never touch.(some mathematicians will argue that they meet at Infinity, though)


Is parallel north and south or west and east?

Lines of Latitude are parallel with each other and circle the globe east and west. Parallel refers to the relationship of two lines and really has nothing to do with direction. Parallel lines are two lines that would never meet even if extended to infinity.


Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?

No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.


Does parallel mean never meet?

Yes, if two lines are parallel they will nver come togather or cross.


Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?

Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
