A concavoconvex lens, also known as a meniscus lens, has one side that is concave (curved inward) and one side that is convex (curved outward). This type of lens can be used to correct vision problems, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, in eyeglasses. It can also be used in optical instruments to focus light or magnify images. The shape of the lens allows for a more compact design compared to using two separate lenses.

What are the properties and uses of a double convex lens?

A double convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light to converge. It has properties such as bending light rays, creating real and inverted images, and magnifying objects. Double convex lenses are commonly used in cameras, projectors, magnifying glasses, and eyeglasses to focus light and produce clear images.


What is an optical device that uses a lens to produce a larger virtual image?

A camera, television, lap top, glasses, psp, claw machine.


Which lens is used in a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass typically uses a convex lens. This type of lens converges light rays to create a magnified image when placed close to an object.


What is the effect of the convex lens in experiment the liquid lens?

In an experiment using a liquid lens, the convex lens helps to focus the light passing through the liquid lens. This allows for the manipulation of the shape of the liquid lens which can change its focal length. By adjusting the curvature of the liquid lens and using the convex lens, the overall optical properties of the system can be controlled for various applications.


What uses two lens and mirror?

Reflecting TelescopeA reflecting telescope uses a lens and two mirrors. The lens is positioned at the eyepiece, and thus the focus, which the two mirrors generated by specifically redirected light. There are two types of reflecting telescopes with one lens and two mirrors, the Newtonian Focus and the Cassegrain Focus.

What type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens?

A microscope uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens to magnify tiny objects for closer examination. The objective lens gathers light from the specimen and forms an enlarged image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.

Which type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens.?

A compound microscope uses both an objective lens and an eyepiece lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen and provides initial magnification, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing. This combination allows for detailed observation of small objects and biological specimens.


How are reflecting and retracting telescopes different?

A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
