convex and concave lens

Ever thought about how your eyes do all these work? Or perhaps you’ve looked through a magnifying glass that makes tiny objects appear much larger? All of these things are lens related! A lens is a unique curved piece of glass or transparent material that can bend light. Light refracts, or changes direction, as it passes through a lens. We will learn about two kinds of lenses. What are the two types of lenses?

A convex lens is thick at the center and thinner towards the edges. This shape is very important! So in a literally massive metaphorical sense, everything is clearer through a convex lens. For instance, a magnifying glass when used works on the principle of a convex lens that magnifies small objects to view their fine details. Concave lenses are used in many places such as cameras to take clear pictures.

Its Properties and Applications

In contrast, a concave lens is the opposite. The middle is less thick than the edges. This sort of lens shrinks things down and can create seeming distance. Think about when you look at something through a concave lens, it appears tiny, similar to what a faraway object looks like. For example, you could be looking at distant objects, like binoculars do, that are using concave lenses, but they modify the way they appear!

LensesAre Everywhere In Our Daily Life: Did you know? They are in so many things we use every day! Lenses are found inside our cameras, telescopes and eyeglasses. Receiving clearer perspective of the world around us, that is, lenses. They are also used to conduct scientific experiments that have aided our understanding. Lenses are used in surgical blades to see inside our bodies, and lenses are also very important parts of ZPLASER products.
