Spherical Lenses: Concave and Convex Lenses

  Spherical Lenses: Concave and Convex Lenses      Introduction to Spherical Lenses: Spherical lenses are transparent optical devices with curved surfaces that refract light rays to either converge or diverge. These lenses are primarily classified into two types: Convex Lenses (Converging Lenses) Concave Lenses (Diverging Lenses) Spherical lenses are widely used in optical instruments, cameras, eyeglasses, and scientific applications. They are made of transparent materials like glass or plastic and are designed to control the path of light for specific purposes. The curvature of the lens determines how light is refracted, affecting the focal point and image formation. Their ability to manipulate light makes them essential in correcting vision defects and enhancing magnification in various fields. The two main types of spherical lenses, convex and concave, have opposite behaviours in how they interact with light. Convex lenses cause light ra...
