What part is thicker than the other in a convex lens?
In a convex lens, the middle is thicker than the outer rim. In a concave lens, the outside rim is thicker.
What shape does concave and convex lens make?
Concave is thinner in the center than the edges and convex lens is thicker in the center than on the edges :)
When does a concave lens act as convex lens?
A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .
