A concave or diverging lens spreads out the parallel light rays passing through it. A concave lens and its corresponding ray diagram include the focal point, focal length, and principals axis. The focal point, F, of a concave lens is the point where all refracted light rays seem to emerge...
A convex lens is a lens that is thicker at the centre than it is at the edges, i.e. itbulges outward. A ray diagram for parallel rays incident on a concave lens is shown below: A ray diagram of a convex lens Rays going through a convex lensconverge. Therefore, convex lenses are a...
