They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
Lenses interact with light by refracting it, which means bending the light rays as they pass through the lens. This bending of light helps converge or diverge the light rays to form an image, depending on the shape of the lens. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light rays.
Magnifying lenses and contact lenses are curved to alter the path of light rays passing through them. The curvature of the lens causes incoming light rays to converge or diverge, depending on the focal length of the lens, which enables the lens to bend the light rays and focus them onto a single point, resulting in magnification or correction of vision.
Mirrors, such as plane mirrors, reflect light rays back in the same direction. Lenses, on the other hand, refract light rays by bending them as they pass through, converging or diverging them depending on the shape of the lens. Both mirrors and lenses can alter the path of light rays to create images.
Convex lenses work to focus light rays by bending them inward towards a central point called the focal point. This bending of light rays helps to converge the rays and create a clear and magnified image.
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.

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another with a different density, which is the fundamental principle behind how lenses work. Lenses are shaped pieces of transparent material that utilize this bending effect to converge or diverge light rays, thereby forming images. Convex lenses converge light to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light rays. This manipulation of light through refraction enables various applications, such as magnifying glasses, eyeglasses, and camera lenses.

Converging lenses refract light rays in toward a central point, known as the focal point. These lenses are thicker in the center than at the edges and are commonly used in applications like cameras, microscopes, and eyeglasses.
Lenses are curved pieces of transparent material that refract, or bend, light rays as they pass through. They can converge or diverge light rays, which leads to the formation of images. Convex lenses (thicker in the middle) converge light to a focal point, while concave lenses (thinner in the middle) cause light rays to spread out.
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.

The two main types of lenses are converging lenses, which focus light rays to a focal point, and diverging lenses, which cause light rays to spread out. Converging lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while diverging lenses are thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle.
Concave lenses bend light rays outward (diverging) as they pass through, causing the rays to spread apart. This is due to the shape of the lens surface being thinner at the center than at the edges, which causes light rays to diverge.
