What will happen if look at(or in the direction of) a distant object through a convex lens?
It depends very much upon where you hold the lens with respect to your eye and the object.Shrish said:What will happen if look at(or in the direction of) a distant object through a convex lens?
Strange. It works fine for me and it's a dot org site. The link is http://www.leydenscience.org/physics/electmag/raylens.html. Try it manually.BvU said:Something fishy with the second link:

A convex lens is a type of lens that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. It is curved outwards on both sides, creating a bulging shape. This shape causes light rays passing through the lens to converge at a point, creating an image.
A convex lens forms an image by refracting (bending) light rays that pass through it. The curvature of the lens causes the light rays to converge at a point called the focal point, creating a real and inverted image.
The factors that affect image formation by a convex lens include the object distance, the lens focal length, and the object's size. The position and size of the resulting image are also affected by the distance between the lens and the image, known as the image distance.
A convex lens forms a real and inverted image, while a concave lens forms a virtual and upright image. The convex lens converges light rays, whereas a concave lens diverges them. Additionally, the convex lens has a positive focal length, while a concave lens has a negative focal length.
The magnification of an image formed by a convex lens is calculated by dividing the image height by the object height. It can also be calculated by dividing the image distance by the object distance. The magnification can be positive or negative, depending on the orientation of the image compared to the object.
