Concave mirrors and lenses converge light rays towards a focal point, causing them to bend inward. In contrast, convex mirrors and lenses diverge light rays, causing them to spread out. This bending of light is due to reflection and refraction at the surface of the mirror or lens.
What else can I help you with?
How do concave lenses bend light rays?
Concave lenses bend light rays outward (diverging) as they pass through, causing the rays to spread apart. This is due to the shape of the lens surface being thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes light rays to diverge.
Does a concave lens bend light to make the objects appear larger?
No, a concave lens actually diverges light rays, causing them to spread apart. This results in the image appearing smaller and farther away than the actual object.
What bends light inward?
A concave lens or a denser medium bend light inward. This bending effect is known as refraction and is caused by the change in speed of light as it passes through different mediums.
How are mirrors and lense classified?
by shape
What happens to light rays when they travel through a concave lens?
Light rays passing through a concave lens diverge away from each other due to the lens's inward curving shape. This causes the light rays to spread out, resulting in the formation of a virtual image that is smaller and upright compared to the object being viewed.
What is concave lens?
a lens that caves in like this )( as opposed to convex which puffs out like this (). a concave lens. it is used to bend and focus light
What happens to light rays when they travel through concave lens?
When they are entering a concave lens they are refracted and bend away from each other.
How do concave lenses bend light rays?
Concave lenses bend light rays outward (diverging) as they pass through, causing the rays to spread apart. This is due to the shape of the lens surface being thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes light rays to diverge.
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.
Does a Concave mirror bend light outwards or inwards?
A concave mirror bends light inwards towards a central focal point. This type of mirror can focus light rays to create a real or virtual image, depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.
Does a concave lens bend light to make the objects appear larger?
No, a concave lens actually diverges light rays, causing them to spread apart. This results in the image appearing smaller and farther away than the actual object.
What bends light inward?
A concave lens or a denser medium bend light inward. This bending effect is known as refraction and is caused by the change in speed of light as it passes through different mediums.
What type of lens bend out?
convexe Concave bend it (like a cave) that's how i remember the difference.
How are mirrors and lense classified?

What happens when light passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?
The light is delayed longer by the thicker part of the lens than by the thinner part of the lens. This results in the following:convex lens, light rays bend towards the axis of the lensconcave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens
How do lenses cause light to focus?
There are two types of lenses- Concave and Convex. The convex ones are bulging from the center and the concave ones are bulging at the ends.Convex=()Concave=)(The convex ones focus light by refracting them so the light rays meet and form a focus.===========()>The concave do the opposite, the light rays bend outwards [sorry for the meeting of the lines in the below pic, they do not meet but bend outwards).===========)(
What happens to light rays when they travel through a concave lens?
Light rays passing through a concave lens diverge away from each other due to the lens's inward curving shape. This causes the light rays to spread out, resulting in the formation of a virtual image that is smaller and upright compared to the object being viewed.
