Their behaviors are so similar and their differences so vanishingly negligible

that to any casual observer, they appear virtually identical. Controlled tests

in the laboratory environment support this widespread impression.

What is the difference between a thick convex lens and a thin convex lens?

A thick convex lens has a larger thickness and can bend light rays more than a thin convex lens. This results in a shorter focal length and stronger focusing ability for a thick convex lens compared to a thin convex 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 convex and concave lens?

The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.


A tree is located between a convex lens and its focal point. Which answer describes the image of the tree formed by the lens?

The image of the tree formed by the convex lens is virtual, upright, and magnified.


How will you distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper?

To distinguish between a convex and concave lens using a printed piece of paper, hold the lens against the paper with the curved side facing up. If the text appears larger and clearer through the lens, it is a convex lens. If the text appears smaller and upside down through the lens, it is a concave lens.

What kind of lens does a projector use?

projector have concave or convex


What is the difference between an optics lens and an anatomy lens?

The lenses have different responsibilities. A optic lens is often concave which means it fold inward. An anatomy lens is mostly convex which means it folds outwards. Both lens' help you see.

What The focal distance of a convex lens is always?

The focal distance of a convex lens is always positive. It is the distance between the lens and the focal point when light rays are parallel and converge after passing through the lens.


What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?

A double convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to converge. A double concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to diverge.
