when the rays pass through the convex lens they tend to converge to the central horizontal axis as a result of which they seem to be meeting at common point so these are also called as converging lens.

The two types of lenses are?

The two types of lenses are converging lenses (also called convex lenses) and diverging lenses (also called concave lenses). Converging lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while diverging lenses cause light rays to spread out.


What is another name for a convex lens?

Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively

Is it convex lens always act as converging lens explain?

No, convex lenses can act as either converging or diverging lenses depending on the curvature of the surfaces. A convex lens will act as a converging lens when the surfaces are curved in such a way that they cause light rays to converge, while it will act as a diverging lens when the surfaces are curved differently to cause light rays to diverge.


Is a double convex lens converging lens?

Yes converging lens. The power of the lens is given by reciprocal of its focal length. Moreover the power for converging action is +ve. So as we place two converging lenses ie convex lenses, then we have to add the powers. Once again the power becomes +ve. So converging action is definite.


What two kinds of lenses are used in eye glasses?

Convex Lenses (Plus Lenses): Used to correct farsightedness (hyperopia) by converging light. Concave Lenses (Minus Lenses): Used to correct nearsightedness (myopia) by diverging light.


What is a name of a converging lens?

One name for a converging lens is a convex lens. This type of lens is thicker at the center than at the edges, and it causes light rays to converge to a focal point. Convex lenses are commonly used in cameras, telescopes, and as eyeglasses for people with farsightedness.


What l lenses are a converging lens?

Convex lenses are converging lenses, meaning they bend light rays towards a focal point. These lenses are thicker at the center and thinner at the edges, causing incoming light rays to converge at a single point. They are commonly used in cameras, telescopes, and eyeglasses.


What lenses focus light rays?

Convex lenses, also known as converging lenses, focus light rays by bending them inward towards a single point called the focal point. This results in the formation of a real image on the opposite side of the lens.


Which of the following lenses is a converging lens A double-convex lens B spherical-convex lens C plano-concave lens D convexo-concave lens?

does a concave lens usually produces real images?

Convex(converging) lenses can form either real or virtual images.
