Question

the shape of a lens determines how it bends light that passes through it. a concave lens, for example, is thinner in the center than it is at the edges. this results in light rays diverging, or bending away from one another, after passing through. concave lenses are used in tv projectors to spread out light.
a convex lens, on the other hand, is thicker in the center than at the edges. as a result, light rays converge, or come together, after passing through. if you place a convex lens close enough to an object, the object will appear larger when you look through the lens, as in a microscope.
which term matches the picture?
concave lens
convex lens

Explanation:

The person in the picture is using a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass is a convex lens. Convex lenses are thicker in the center than at the edges. When an object is close enough to a convex lens (within its focal length), it makes the object appear larger. This property is used in microscopes (as mentioned in the text) and magnifying glasses. Concave lenses, on the other hand, are thinner in the center and diverge light rays.

Answer:

convex lens
