Question

. What is the chng in the behavior of convex lens when one side of it is polished?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

If one side of convex lens is polished then it will behave as a concave mirror with a convex lens in front of it, or just as a convex mirror if the other side is reflecting (with a lens behind it that doesn't really do anything because it's blocked).
