A lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a concave lens?

Actually, a lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a convex lens, not a concave lens. Concave lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while convex lenses bulge out in the middle.


What has a thinner middle than the edges?

concave lens


Which type lens has a thinner middle than the edges?

Concave lens has a thinner middle than the edges. This shape causes light rays passing through it to diverge.


Which lens is THIN in the middle and thiCK At the edges?

A convex lens.


Is a contact lens a diverging or a converging lens?

They can be either. They will converge if thicker in the middle than edges, and diverge if thinner in the middle than edges.


Is a lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle a concave lens?

Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.


Is the center of a concave lens thicker than its edges?

No, the center of a concave lens is thinner than its edges. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker towards the edges, causing light rays passing through them to diverge.


What type of glass lenses are fatter in the middle than at the edges called?

Convex lens are thicker in the middle. Concave lens are thinner in the middle.


What is the difference between a concave and convex lens?

Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. They refract toward the center. Only people have convex lenses. Concave lenses are used in telescopes and glasses. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the edges. When light passes through concave lenses always bend away from each other toward the edges of the lens.A convex or "positive" lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. A concave, or "negative" lens is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. Convex lenses project a real image behind the lens; concave lenses project a virtual image in front of the lens.


What is a transparent object that is thinner in the middle than at the edges?

A concave lens is an example of a transparent object that is thinner in the middle than at the edges. These lenses are curved inward and cause light rays passing through them to diverge.


What is a lens has a center that is thicker than its edges?

A convex lens.


What lens is thinner in the center?

A concave lens is thinner in the center. This type of lens curves inward, causing the center to be thinner than the edges.
