CONVEX- Having a surface or boundary that curves or bulges outward, as the exterior of a sphere. - curving outwards like the outside surface of a ball [Latin convexus vaulted, rounded - Curving outward, like the outer boundary of a circle or sphere.
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.
Convex shapes curve outward, like a dome, while concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.
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.
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward. To distinguish between them, you can look at the direction in which the shape curves - concave curves inwards, while convex curves outwards.
The opposite of convex is concave. Concave shapes have an inward curve, while convex shapes have an outward curve.
Convex lenses protrude or curve out, concave lenses curve in, like a cave...
Convex lens curve outwards.
Convex lenses makes an object appear larger and closer. They curve inwards toward the center.
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.
Convex shapes curve outward, like a dome, while concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
An open curve, perhaps.
yes
A convex curve in the shaft of a column
The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
The amount of curve (convex) in the lens determines the strength of the lens, thereby determining the effectiveness (or strength) of the lens. This is how the prescription strength of contact lenses is determined.
