a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, meaning that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it

• Light Ray

• Convex Lens

• Medium

• Concave Lens

to cause (light, heat, sound, etc.) to pass through a medium. to convey or pass along (an impulse, force, motion, etc.). to permit (light, heat, etc.) to pass through:

• Transmit

• Translucent

• Lens

• Reflect

a piece of glass or other transparent substance with curved sides for concentrating or dispersing light rays, used singly (as in a magnifying glass) or with other lenses (as in a telescope).

• Concave Lens

• Convex Lens

• Lens

• Magnify

(of water, air, or glass) make (a ray of light) change direction when it enters at an angle.

• Reflect

A convex lens is a converging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

• Convex Lens

• Lens

• Concave Lens

• Opaque

how nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body's atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks.

• Opaque

• Light Energy

• Magnify

• Transmit
