When light strikes a lens, it is refracted (bent) either towards or away from the lens depending on its initial direction and the shape of the lens. This refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which helps to focus the light at a specific point called the focal point.

What happens to the path of light as it strikes a mirror and then a hand lens?
When light strikes a mirror, it undergoes reflection, bouncing off at the same angle it struck the mirror. When this reflected light then passes through a hand lens, it is refracted (bent) due to the curvature of the lens, converging or diverging based on the shape and focal length of the lens.
When light strikes a convex lens the light beam?
When light strikes a convex lens, the light beam converges to a point called the focal point. This is due to the lens refracting or bending the light rays towards a central point. The distance from the lens to the focal point is called the focal length.
What does light traveling through a lens look like?
Light traveling through a lens appears to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens. In a converging lens, the light rays come together at a focal point after passing through the lens, whereas in a diverging lens, the light rays spread out. The path of light through a lens can be visualized using ray diagrams.
How does light travel through concave and convex lens?
In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, causing image formation behind the lens. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, resulting in image formation on the opposite side of the lens. The specific path of light through these lenses is determined by the refraction of light rays at the surfaces of the lens.
What does concave lenses do to light rays?
a concave lens diverges the light ray travelling in a straight parallel path.
What happens to the path of light as it strikes a mirror and then a hand lens?

What happens to light when it strikes a lens?
light bends when it hits the lens....this is called refraction

Does the lens of the eye control the amount of light that strikes the retina?
No, the lens of the eye helps to focus light onto the retina, but it does not control the amount of light that strikes the retina. The iris, the colored part of the eye, controls the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.

How is light reflected absorbed diffracted and diffused through a camera?
Light is diffracted and diffused as it enters the lens. Because the lens is not perfectly clear, some light is reflected. As the light strikes the sensor, it is absorbed and converted into electronic information.
In order lists the lenses in the light path between a speciman viewed with the compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye?
The lenses in the light path between a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye are the objective lens, the tube lens, and the ocular lens. Light passes through the objective lens to magnify the specimen, then through the tube lens to further focus the image, and finally through the ocular lens where it is magnified for viewing by the eye.
List the lenses in the light path between a specimen viewed with the compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye?
The lenses in the light path between a specimen and its image on the retina of the eye are the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens is close to the specimen and gathers light from it, while the eyepiece lens is near the eye and further magnifies the image formed by the objective lens for viewing.
What does concave lenses do to light rays?
a concave lens diverges the light ray travelling in a straight parallel path.
How does a convex lens change the path of light?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge towards a focal point after passing through it. This happens because the lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges, which bends the light rays inward. The distance between the lens and the focal point is called the focal length.
How is the path of light through a converging lens like the path of light through a prism?
There are two main areas of similarity. The first is that light passes through a converging lens as well as through a prism. This may sound trivial, but light will not pass through a block of wood! The second similarity is that in both situations the rays of light will be refracted: they will be bent at the boundaries between the different media.
