How does a concave len look?

a concave lens is thin in the middle, but thick on the sides. It does this: it makes what you look at bigger because it spreads out light


What does a virtual image of a object look like through a concave lens?

A virtual image of an object through a concave lens is always upright, reduced in size, and appears on the same side of the lens as the object. Its location depends on the distance of the object from the lens and the focal length of the lens.


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.


What kind of lens makes things look smaller?

A diverging lens, also known as a concave lens, makes objects appear smaller when viewed through it. This type of lens causes light rays to spread out, resulting in a reduced image size compared to the actual object.


What concaave lenses and convex lenses make things look smaller?

Concave lenses make objects look smaller when they are placed close to the lens, while convex lenses make objects look smaller when they are placed far from the lens. This effect is due to the way light rays are refracted by the different lens shapes, causing the image to appear reduced in size.


What type of lens makes objects look smaller?

A concave lens makes objects look smaller. This type of lens diverges light rays, which causes the image to appear smaller than the actual object.


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)


What happens when you look through a convex lens?

When you look through a convex lens, close objects appear larger and farther away, while distant objects appear closer and smaller. This is due to the way the lens refracts light, causing it to converge and focus at a point behind the lens, creating a magnified or reduced image depending on the object's distance.


How does a concave lens make things look?

A concave lens diverges light rays, causing them to spread out. This results in an image that appears smaller and farther away than the actual object. The image may also appear right-side up or inverted depending on the object's distance from the lens.


What is lens that makes objects look larger called?

there is something in the telescope that helps things appear larger


What happens when you look through a giant concave mirror?

Basically your image becomes magnified. I'm not sure about this, but I think the image produced is a "virtual image"


What is the lens you look through on a microscope?
