How does light travel

• It curves around corners
• Really slow
• In a straight line
• In circles

How does a concave lens differ from a convex lens?

• A convex lens is another way to describe a plane mirror; a concave lens is curved

• A concave lens is curved inward on both sides; a convex lens is on only one side

• A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges, a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges

• A convex lens has a thin center and thick edges. a concave lens has a thick center and thinner edges

A concave lens has an inward curved shape. It refracts light outward from the lens. They light rays spread apart as they exit the lens. Which represents a concave lens?

• A

• B

• A and B

• neither A or B
