The distance from lens to focal point is called?
The distance from a lens to the focal point is called the focal length.
What kind of lens has a focal point?
A converging lens, such as a convex lens, has a focal point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens. This focal point is where the image of an object placed at infinity will be formed.
Difference between focal point and focal length?
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
When curvature lens is bigger what happens to the focal point?
When the curvature of a lens is larger, the focal point moves closer to the lens. This means the lens has a shorter focal length and will converge light rays at a point closer to the lens.
What is a focal point in convex lens?
A focal point in a convex lens is the point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens. It is located on the principal axis of the lens at a specific distance from the lens center, known as the focal length. This focal point is where an image is formed when an object is placed at an appropriate distance from the lens.
What is defined as the distance between a lens and its focal point?
focal length of the lens
The distance from lens to focal point is called?
The distance from a lens to the focal point is called the focal length.
What is the focal lentgh of a lens?
It is a plane perpendicular to the lens at the focal distance from the lens. All parallel light entering the lens from a certain direction falls on a single point somewhere on this plane. Where the point of light falls depends on what angle the "wall" of light enters the lens.

What is the focal length of the convex lens?
The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
Where is the focal point of a cancave lens?
The focal point of a concave lens is located on the same side as the incoming light. It is a virtual focal point, meaning the light appears to diverge from this point when passing through the lens.
How does the curvature of a concave lens affect the location of the focal point?
In a concave lens, the focal point is located on the same side as the incoming light rays. A more curved concave lens will have a shorter focal length, bringing the focal point closer to the lens surface.
Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
This depends on the type of lens. If it is a convex lens then they converge at the focus on the other side of the lens. If it is a concave lens, then they diverge and appear to be coming from the focus present on the same side of the lens as the incident ray.
Where is the focal point in a convex lens?
If you shine a parallel (ie unfocussed) beam of light perpendicular to a convex lens it will focus to a point on the other side. That place is called the focal point of the lens. Its distance to the lens is called the focal length.
