Why focal length of convex mirror and convex lens is positive while concave mirror and concave lens negative?
(a) With the help of a labelled diagram explain how a convex lens converges a beam of parallel light rays. Mark the principal axis, optical centre, principal focus and focal length of the convex lens on the diagram. (b) State whether the convex lens has a real focus or a virtual focus. (c) List some things that convex lens and concave mirror have in common.
