Explain why a flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus while a curved piece of glass can?
When light passes through a flat piece of glass, like a window, the light is refracted at both surfaces, but the exiting ray of light is parallel to the entering ray and hence the light's path is not really changed.
What happens to light that passes through a curved piece of glass?
Light passing through a curved piece of glass will undergo refraction due to the change in the glass density. The light rays will bend as they enter and exit the curved glass, focusing or dispersing the light depending on the shape of the curve.
What is a piece of curved glass that causes light rays?
A lens is a piece of curved glass that causes light rays to converge or diverge to create a focused image. Lens are commonly used in optical devices such as cameras, glasses, and microscopes to manipulate and focus light.
What is curved piece of glass that is used to magnify small objects?
A magnifying glass is a curved piece of glass that is used to magnify small objects by bending light rays as they pass through the lens, making the object appear larger to the viewer.
What is the piece of curved glass in a camera called?
The curved glass in a camera is called a lens. The lens focuses light onto the camera sensor, allowing the camera to capture an image.
What is a curved piece of glass that bends light?
A lens

How is a lens different from a piece of glass?
Nothing but shape. A lens is just a curved piece of glass, as well as glass being a straight lens. A lens bends the light while glass does not*. *Assuming the glass is straight
What is a curved piece of glass called in science?
A curved piece of glass in science is called a lens. Lenses are used to bend and focus light, allowing for magnification, correction of vision, or other optical applications. These can be concave or convex in shape.
What is A curved piece of glass or other transparent material that is used to refract light is called a(n)?
Lens.
What is a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that is used to retract light?
A lens is a curved piece of glass or transparent material that is designed to refract (bend) light rays, focusing them to create an image. Lenses are commonly used in cameras, eyeglasses, microscopes, and telescopes.
