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.

Can lenses be planar convex or concave?
Yes, lenses can be planar convex or concave. A planar convex lens has one flat surface and one convex surface, while a planar concave lens has one flat surface and one concave surface. These types of lenses are less common compared to standard convex and concave lenses.

The two types of lenses are?
The two types of lenses are converging lenses (also called convex lenses) and diverging lenses (also called concave lenses). Converging lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while diverging lenses cause light rays to spread out.
How are concave and convex lenses different?
Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).
How are convex and concave lenses different from each other?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They cause light rays to converge. Concave lenses are thicker at the edges than they are in the middle. They cause light rays to spread out, or diverge.
List two uses for concave lens?
Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.
How do people use lenses to see things a long way away?
Lenses are either concave or convex. Concave lenses curve inward from both sides, and convex lenses curve outward one side and inward on the other. Concave and convex lenses change the image to be able to see from close or far distances.These are used for glasses, magnifying glasses, and telescopes.
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Are objective lenses concave or convex?
Objective lenses are convex lenses.
What are two type of lenses?
convex and concave
Do binoculors have concave or convex lenses?
i think they have convex lenses
What two kinds of lenses are used in eye glasses?
Convex Lenses (Plus Lenses): Used to correct farsightedness (hyperopia) by converging light. Concave Lenses (Minus Lenses): Used to correct nearsightedness (myopia) by diverging light.
Can lenses be planar convex or concave?
Yes, lenses can be planar convex or concave. A planar convex lens has one flat surface and one convex surface, while a planar concave lens has one flat surface and one concave surface. These types of lenses are less common compared to standard convex and concave lenses.

The two types of lenses are converging lenses (also called convex lenses) and diverging lenses (also called concave lenses). Converging lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while diverging lenses cause light rays to spread out.
Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
Microscopes primarily use convex lenses. Convex lenses converge light rays to create a magnified image. There are also compound microscopes that incorporate both convex and concave lenses to enhance the quality of the image.
