How do the shape of the lens change in order to focus on an object?
The shape of the lens changes by becoming thicker or thinner, known as lens accommodation, to focus on objects. When focusing on a near object, the lens becomes thicker, and when focusing on a distant object, the lens becomes thinner. This process allows the lens to adjust its refractive power to bring objects into focus on the retina.
How does the object distance of a convex lens compared with the object distance of a concave lens?
The object distance of a convex lens is measured from the optical center to the object, while for a concave lens, it is measured from the optical center to the object along the path of light. In general, the object distance for a convex lens is positive, while for a concave lens, it is negative since the object distances are measured on the opposite sides of the lens.
How does a telescope lens work to magnify distant objects?
A telescope lens works to magnify distant objects by bending and focusing light rays that enter the lens. This allows the lens to gather more light and bring the image of the distant object into focus, making it appear larger and clearer when viewed through the telescope.
What happens to an object if you move it closer to a concave lens?
If you move an object closer to a concave lens, the image produced would get larger, virtual, and upright. The image distance would increase, and the image would appear farther away from the lens compared to the object.
What does a virtual image of a object look like through a concave lens?
A virtual image of an object through a concave lens is always upright, reduced in size, and appears on the same side of the lens as the object. Its location depends on the distance of the object from the lens and the focal length of the lens.

Does a concave lens always produce a virtual image?
No, a concave lens can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object location relative to the lens. If the object is located within the focal point of the concave lens, a virtual image will be produced. If the object is located beyond the focal point, a real image will be formed.
How will an object seen through a concave lens appear?
An object seen through a concave lens will appear smaller, upright, and virtual - meaning it will not project a real image on a screen. The image will be on the same side as the object and its characteristics will depend on the distance of the object from the lens.
To magnify an object would you use a convex lens or a concave lens?
You would use a convex lens.
Where does the image of a concave lens always appear?
The image formed by a concave lens is always virtual, upright, and located on the same side as the object. It is also diminished in size compared to the object.
What is the attitude and approximate size of an image when an object is close to and far from a concave lens?
When an object is close to a concave lens, the image will appear virtual, upright, and magnified. When the object is far from the concave lens, the image will be real, inverted, and smaller in size.
What is refractors?
A refractor is a telescope whose principal focusing element is a lens and collects lots of light from a distant object and brings that light, or image, to a point or focus.
What ray is parallel to the axis of a concave lens?
A ray parallel to the axis of a concave lens will refract through the lens and appear to have come from the focal point on the same side as the object.
