Refraction (bending light) Refraction is when light bends as it passes from one medium into another. When light traveling through air passes into the glass.

Convex Lens A convex lens curves outward; it has a thick center and thinner edges.

Lenses Convex lenses converge rays of light. Parallel rays converge a fixed distance away from the lens. This is known as the focal length.

Lenses Refract and Focus Light Section 2.5

What is a lens? A lens is a smooth piece of curved glass or transparent material that refracts light Two types: Concave: thin center, light rays spread out (Divergent) Convex: thick center, light rays move together (Convergent)

Convex or Concave??

Convergent Rays - Convex

Lenses and Mirrors Lenses are useful optical devices. Eyeglasses, have been made from lenses since the thirteenth century. A convex lens refracts the light rays from an object so they can be focused. Different size lenses can converge the light rays at different distances, enabling corrections to be made to focal points.

Exception However, light from the left portion of the object is directed to the right and the light from the top is directed to the bottom. This inverts the image. Overhead projectors and film projectors do this.
