Convex lenses focus parallel light rays from distant sources such as the sun to a single point on the principal axis of the lens. This point is called the principal focus of the convex lens. A source such as the sun is producing enough energy to heat a substance if it is placed at the principal focus point.

Is a magnifying glass a converging lens or a diverging lens?
A converging lens is a simple magnifying glass when the object is within one focal length of the lens. The image is then virtual, magnified, and right-side up.
Which kind of lens is used in a magnitfying glass?
Converging, Convex
What is a name of a converging lens?
Converging lens is a convex lens.
In which medium will a lens behave as a glass slab?
the medium which have the same refractive index as glass.
Why is convex lens called a converging lens?
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.
A magnifying glass is also called what?
The answer is both convex and converging

What is the name for the glass in a magnifying glass?
a lens..a converging lens to be exact
A magnifying glass is an example of?

What is converging lens?
A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.
