LENSES

Any transparent refracting medium bounded by two surfaces ( in which at least one surface should be curved surface)is called a "lens". The lenses used in laboratory are generally made up off glass. There are two type of lenses :  

1-) Convex lenses : These lenses are thicker at the centre and thinner at their edges. These are also called converging lenses. There are three type of convex lens :

a-) Double convex or biconvex 

b-) Plano-convex 

c-) Concavo-convex 

2-) Concave lenses : These lenses are thinner at the centre than at edges. A concave lens is also called as diverging lens. There are three type of concave lenses : 

a-) Double concave or biconcave 

b-) Plano-concave

c-) convexo-concave
