Convex lens are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. State whether True or False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Yes, a convex lens is the one which is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.

Convex lenses are thicker at the middle and therefore the rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). Hence a convex lens is a converging lens.
