Difference between Concave and Convex Lens

A convex lens or converging lens focuses the light rays to a specific point, whereas a concave lens or diverging lens diverges the light rays. A lens is a transparent material (either curved or flat surface) based on the principles of refraction. Concave lenses and convex lenses are often used together which is known as the Concave – Convex lens. When these lenses are combined, they produce sharper images. Most eyeglass lenses use combinations of convex and concave lenses. Cameras, telescopes and microscopes use different lenses, helping us to see the world in a better way.
