A lens is a sphere that has two sides cut from it and is used for optical purposes. The sides can be cut in three different ways: concave, convex, or plane. Mixing and matching these different cuts results in different types of lenses that can be used for different applications. These...
A lens, specifically, a thin lens is a circular optical device that has two faces or sides cut out from a sphere. Each side can be concave, convex, or plane. The combination of these faces produces different types of lenses with a wide range of applications such as telescopes, microscopes...

Lens is a transmissive optical device that is used to focus or disperse light beams by the phenomenon called refraction. A lens could either be concave or convex and an example of application of lens is its used it camera. Key Ideas:The earliest forms of lenses were developed in Egypt and...
Centre of mirror curvature (C): It is the centre of the sphere that themirroris considered as a part of it. It lies in front of the reflecting surface in theconcave mirror, It lies behind the reflecting surface in theconvex mirror,Spherical mirrorshave only one centre of c...
The image generated by the concave mirror might be little or huge, real or virtual, and can be small or massive. Convex Mirror If the hollow sphere’s cut half is painted from the inside, the sphere’s outside surface becomes the reflecting surface. A convex mirror is the name given to...
these lenses are thicker at the center than at the edges. Examples are the double convex lens (both surfaces curved outward as in the simple magnifying glass), the plano-convex (one flat and one convex surface), and the concavo-convex (one surface concave, the other convex). Diverging lens...

Images created by convex mirrors are also virtual and upright in relation to the object. Where are F and C located in a convex mirror ray diagram? Drawing the original sphere from where the curved mirror was built, C is the center of curvature and coincides with the center of the sphere....
