Question 9 • Physics

Which diagram best represents a convex lens?

Answer
A
Image with description A biconcave lens.
B
Image with description A lens with a convex side and a concave side.
C
Image with description A biconvex lens.
D
Image with description A plane mirror.

Explanation

A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges and bulges outward on both sides. A biconvex lens has two outward-curving sides, so it best represents a convex lens. A lens with one convex and one concave side is a different type of lens, and a biconcave lens curves inward on both sides.
