Understanding Light-Bending Objects: Concave and Convex Lenses & Prisms

Explore the fascinating world of light-bending objects, including concave lenses, convex lenses, and prisms. Concave lenses are thicker at the edges, causing objects to appear smaller as light bends toward the thicker part. In contrast, convex lenses are thicker in the middle, making objects look larger. Additionally, learn about prisms and how they change the direction of light waves. This overview highlights the unique properties and functions of these lenses and prisms, emphasizing their applications in optics.
