Why does a convex lens converge light? Do plano-convex lenses have two focal points?

Myopia glasses are glasses that are used to correct vision and allow people to see distant objects clearly. The purpose is to keep the ciliary muscles of the eyeballs able to adjust. Nowadays, more and more students are myopic, so everyone must protect their eyesight! If you are myopic, do you want to see why convex lenses focus light?

Why does a convex lens focus light?

Because the middle of the convex lens is thicker than the edge, any beam of light will converge to one point after passing through the convex lens. Convex lenses are made based on the principle of light refraction. Convex lenses are divided into double convex, plano-convex and concave-convex (or positive meniscus) forms. Convex lenses have the function of converging light, so they are also called converging lenses. Thicker convex lenses have the functions of looking far away and converging, which is related to the thickness of the lens. Hyperopia glasses are convex lenses.

Do all plano-convex lenses have two focal points?

The focal length of a single lens is the distance from the principal point to the focal point. The design wavelength of the lens is 546.1 nanometers. Since the focal length varies with wavelength, when it is used for other wavelengths, its focal length also changes accordingly.

When light parallel to the main optical axis is incident from the left, the outgoing light is refracted and converges to the focus on the right. When light parallel to the main optical axis is incident from the right, the outgoing light converges to the focus on the left. When discussing image distance and object distance, the focal length and twice the focal length are used as the dividing point. This means that there are foci on both sides.

Are myopia glasses convex lenses?

Myopia glasses are not convex lenses.

Myopia glasses are a type of glasses that are designed to correct vision so that people can clearly see distant objects. The purpose is to enable the ciliary muscles of the eyeball to maintain a certain degree of adjustment ability.

Myopia glasses have a certain preventive effect on complications caused by high myopia, such as retinal detachment, vitreous opacity, cataract, glaucoma, nystagmus, etc. Myopia glasses are concave lenses. The image formed by a concave lens is always smaller than the vertical virtual image of the object. Concave lenses are mainly used to correct myopia. Glasses power: The refractive power of glasses is generally expressed in degrees. One diopter is equivalent to 100 degrees as generally referred to by people or glasses shops.
