Why are convex lenses sometimes called converging lenses?
when the rays pass through the convex lens they tend to converge to the central horizontal axis as a result of which they seem to be meeting at common point so these are also called as converging lens.
What happens to light after it passes through a converging lens and after it passes through a diverging lens?
becomes more converging
How is the path of light through a converging lens like the path of light through a prism?
There are two main areas of similarity. The first is that light passes through a converging lens as well as through a prism. This may sound trivial, but light will not pass through a block of wood! The second similarity is that in both situations the rays of light will be refracted: they will be bent at the boundaries between the different media.
Why does light split up into different colours when it passes through a trinagluar prism?
it is a rainbow.
Light rays converge if passed through a what?
A convex lens.
What is converging lens?
A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.

Parallel light rays that pass through a convex lens are?
Converging. Tip: look at the pictures and read : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(optics)

Converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of what?
REFLECTION
Does steady flow through a converging pipe accelerate or decelerate?
Accelerate
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of?
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of refraction. A lens is a device that uses refraction to bend light to form an image.
Light rays converge if passed through a what?
A convex lens.
