What else can I help you with?
Is a lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle a concave lens?
Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.
A lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a concave lens?
Actually, a lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a convex lens, not a concave lens. Concave lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while convex lenses bulge out in the middle.
What shape is concave lens?
A spoon that you have put some food into is a concave shape. It is a cavity. A concave lens is such that it is thicker at the edges than in the middle. Convex is the bottom of the spoon. A convex lens is thicker in the centre than around the edges.
Is the center of a concave lens thicker than its edges?
No, the center of a concave lens is thinner than its edges. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker towards the edges, causing light rays passing through them to diverge.
What lens is thicker at the edges?
A concave lens is thicker at the edges compared to the center.
What describes a Concave lens?
thicker at the edges that in the middle

What is a lens that is thicker at the edges than the middle?
Concave. The opposite- thick in middle, thin at edges- is convex.
What lens is thicker at the edges?
A concave lens is thicker at the edges compared to the center.
Convex lens is thicker than?
Concave lens. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays to converge.
What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.
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.
What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?
A convex lens.
What is a concave lens?
A concave lens is a lens that is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges. It is used to correct myopia (nearsightedness) by diverging light rays before they enter the eye, thus helping to focus the image on the retina. Concave lenses are often used in glasses or contact lenses for people with nearsightedness.
