How do light rays react differently when they go through a concave lens and through a convex lens?

The photons are absorbed by electrons that they encounter, then re-radiated onward. If the convex lens is in a medium of lower refractive index, the light converges on its way through, and emerges still converging.


What happens when light passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?

The light is delayed longer by the thicker part of the lens than by the thinner part of the lens. This results in the following:convex lens, light rays bend towards the axis of the lensconcave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens


What part focuses light?

A parabolic mirror best focuses light onto a spot. Or a convex lens will do similar. In the eye, the lens towards the front of the eye focuses light onto the retina, where the light sensitive cells lie.


Which lens have zero power?

A flat piece of glass. Also, any lens where the shape of the convex part matches the shape of the concave part. An example would be a flat piece of glass bent over a sphere.
