How are convex and concave lenses different?

In: Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)

Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)
Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.
You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).

What are the concave and convex lenses?
Concave and convex lenses are curved lenses that bend light in a predictable manner depending on their radius of curvature and index of refraction. A concave lens bend inwards and a convex lens bends...
