0 Convex and Concave Lenses Solving the Lens Mystery Lynn Garner & Sharon Holloway
Lenses and Light • Lenses are curved pieces of glass that can be convex or concave. • Concave lenses cause light rays to spread out (diverge). • Convex lenses cause light to come together (converge) to a focal point.
Concave Mirrors • Make-up mirrors are concave and magnify • Concave mirrors are used in reflectors, spotlights, and headlights focus light into beams
Convex Mirrors • Convex mirrors curve outwards and are wide angle mirrors. • Convex mirrors are like rear view mirrors • They provide drivers and clerks with a wide field of vision.
