Lesson: Convex Lenses

In this lesson, we will learn how to define a convex lens, describe the paths of light rays refracted through these lenses, and explain how rays are focused by such lenses.

Worksheet: Convex Lenses • 5 Questions

Q1:

Light rays diverging from a point are incident on a convex lens, as shown in the diagram. Which of the other diagrams, (A), (B), (C), and (D), most correctly shows the directions of the rays that exit the lens?

  • A(B)
  • B(A)
  • C(D)
  • D(C)

Q2:

Part of a convex lens is shown. No light rays pass through the lens, but several possible lines normal to the surface of the lens are shown.
