A lens is an optical device that refracts light to form an image, while a mirror is an optical device that reflects light to form an image. A lens uses refraction to bend light rays, while a mirror uses reflection to change the direction of light rays. Both lenses and mirrors can be used to focus light and form images.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a virtual image and a real image?
A virtual image is formed by light rays that appear to diverge from a point behind a mirror or lens, while a real image is formed by light rays that converge at a point in front of a mirror or lens.
What is the difference between the virtual image formed by a convex lens and a concave lens?
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
Difference between focal point and focal length?
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
What is the difference between concave lens and the concave mirror?
A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is curved inward like the inside of a bowl, causing light rays to converge at a focal point. Both have different optical properties and applications.
Does the focal length of a spherical mirror or lens change when placed under water?
i do not think so because a mirror an a lens is two same things except that mirrors can reflect the water and the lens may refract or bend the water so that can change the focal length between the mirror and the lens
What is the difference between mirror and lenses?
Light passes through a lens, typically being bent by refraction. Light reflects off a mirror.

Is lens the same as mirror?
a lens you can see through and a mirror reflects

What is the difference between Oakley half jacket 2.0 and 2.0xl?
The lens size is the only difference the XL have a bigger lens.
What is distance between mirror or lens and place where light rays meet?
Focal point
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
Which lens will form exact mirror image?
concave lens will form exact mirror image.
