 INTRODUCTION
A CONVEX LENS, also known as a
converging lens, is a type of lens that
curves outward like a sphere on both
sides. It is thicker at the center and
thinner at the edges. They cause
light rays to converge or come together
at a point, forming a focused image
2
A CONCAVE LENS, also known as a
diverging lens, It curves inward like a
cave on both sides, making it thinner
at the center and thicker at the edges.
concave lenses cause light rays to
diverge or spread apart when passing
through them Creating virtual images
that appear smaller and farther away
than the object itself.
 Convex lenses are used
widely in the
camera focusing on an
image and magnifying
it. Almost all lenses of
cameras consist of A
convex lens. Convex
lens are used in
photographic cameras so
that real images formed

 A Defect Of Vision In Which A
Person Can't See The Nearby Object
Clearly (Appears Blurred), Though
Can See The Distant Objects Clearly
Is Called Hypermetropia. In This
Defect, Light Focuses Beyond The
Retina, Instead Of Directly On The
Retina.
Hypermetropia Is Corrected By Using
Convex Lenses Of Suitable Focal
Length (Or Power) So That It Can
Produce An Additional Conversion In
The Light Rays And The Final Image
Is Formed On The Retina

 CONCAVE LENS IN
MYOPIC EYE
Myopia Is the Medical Name For Nearsightedness,
Which Means That You Can See Objects That Are
Near Clearly But Have Difficulty Seeing Objects That
Are Farther Away.

When A Concave Lens Is Used, It Diverges The Light

Before They Get Focused On The Lens Of The Eye.
This Leads To Focusing Light On The Retina Itself
And Not In Front Of It. These Lenses Can Be Used
Either As Eyeglasses Or Contact Lenses. Hence, A
Concave Lens Is Used to Correct Myopia.
CONCAVE LENS
IN FLASHLIGHT
Concave lenses are also used in
flashlights to magnify the light
produced by the source. The
light rays fall on the hollowed
side of the lens, and the light
rays diverge on the other side.
This increases the radius of the
light source and thus provides a
wider beam.
