Concave Lenses

Concave lenses have at least one surface


curved inside. A concave lens is also known as
a diverging lens because it is shaped round
inwards at the centre and bulges outwards
through the edges, making the light diverge.
They are used to treat myopia as they make
faraway objects look smaller than they are.
convex lens
This lens converges a straight beam of
light. This lens diverges a straight beam
of light. This lens is thicker at the
centre and gets thinner as we move
towards the edges. This lens is thinner
at the centre and gets thicker as we
move towards the edges.
Differentiate between convex and concave lens
Concave mirror
A concave mirror has a reflective surface
that is curved inward and away from the
light source. Concave mirrors reflect light
inward to one focal point. Unlike convex
mirrors, the image formed by a concave
mirror shows different image types
depending on the distance between the
object and the mirror.
Convex mirror
A convex mirror is also known as a
diverging mirror as this mirror diverges
light rays when they strike its reflecting
surface. Virtual, erect, and diminished
images are always formed with convex
mirrors, irrespective of the distance
between the object and the mirror.
