Convex Lens

Description:

A convex lens, also known as a converging lens, is a lens that is curved outward on both sides. It is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges. Convex lenses are commonly used in optics to focus or converge light rays.

Senses:

1. Optics:

In optics, a convex lens is used to bring rays of light together at a single point, forming a real or virtual image. It is widely used in various optical devices such as cameras, telescopes, and magnifying glasses.

2. Eyewear:

In eyewear, convex lenses are used for correcting hyperopia or farsightedness. These lenses help to bring the light rays entering the eye to a focal point on the retina, thus improving vision for individuals with this condition.

Sample Sentences:

1. The photographer used a convex lens to capture a stunning close-up of the flower.

2. Sarah wears glasses with convex lenses to correct her farsightedness.
