Convex lens


 

A convex lens is a lens that is curved outward (convex): the ends are narrow and the middle is wide. Often referred to as a converging lens. Light passing through a convex lens is converged to a point. This point is also called a focal point. A convex lens can produce either a real or virtual image.
