In sun glasses, both of its surface are curved, yet their behaviour is neither like a convex lens nor like a concave lens. State the reason.

Solution

In sun glasses, the outer surface is convex and the inner surface is concave, hence the power of one surface is positive and that of the other is negative. By making both these powers equal, the effective power of the lens becomes zero. Hence, these lenses are simply like a thin glass having no power, plus or minus.
