Question
Convex and Concave Lenses
A lens is an object with a curved surface or surfaces. The curves help to bend visible light, which allows objects to be seen. A concave lens is narrower in the middle and thicker at the edges. A convex lens is thicker in the middle and narrower at the edges. Students create a model of each type of lens. Their models are shown.
