Convex lenses and convex mirrors both cause light rays that strike them to converge. This means they have the ability to focus light and create real or virtual images, depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.

Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.

Why is a focal point of a convex lens real and that of a concave lens virtual?

because in a convex lens rays join at a common point after refrection but in case of a concave lens they appears to come from a common point.


Why do reflecting telescopes use con cave mirrors and not convex mirrors?

Convex mirrors spread and not focus light. They do the opposite of concentrating and magnifying. They are the mirror image of what a concave telescope is and does. Pun intended.

What is the difference between concave and convex lens'?

Answer #1convex lens is something they put in your eyes as contacts or in your glasses if you farsited but convex lens makes your image bigger and concave lens makes your image smaller.Answer #2For example, mirrors can be convex, concave and straight, just like glass. The normal mirrors that you use to look at yourself are straight mirrors, they show a normal picture.Do you ever walk into a shop and see a huge bulging mirror in the corner of the shop and you can see just about every corner of the shop in the mirror? well that is a convex mirror. The curved mirrors show a wider view of everything.The concave mirrors are opposite, they "magnify" the image, the concave mirrors make objects larger because the light is focused on a smaller reflection area.This is exactly what happens if you look through glass, that is either a convex or concave.People who are short sighted have glasses with a concavelens, (the lens that indents, you can also remember that it is concave that way because a cave goes in and a concave lens goes in.People who are long sighted wear glasses with convexlenses.


Why is a convex lens called a converging lens?

when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.
