Question

what are convex lenses?
what happens to light when it enters a convex lens?
it gets absorbed.
it refracts.
it reflects.
convex lenses work on principles in optics, the study of light. light typically travels in a straight line unless something, like air or glass, causes it to refract, reflect, or be absorbed. convex lenses are transparent curved surfaces that refract light.
when light goes through a convex lens, it slows down, bending the light rays. convex lenses bend the light rays to come together or converge because they are wider in the middle than at the ends. this is why convex lenses are also known as converging lenses. as the light passes through the lens and slows down, it focuses the light rays to meet at one spot called the focal point. this property of convex lenses is widely used in things like magnifying glasses and cameras, where the ability to manipulate and focus light is essential.

Explanation:

When light enters a convex lens, it refracts. Convex lenses are transparent curved surfaces that refract light. As light passes through a convex lens, it slows down, bending the light rays. Convex lenses cause the light rays to come together or converge because they are thicker in the middle. This refraction property is what makes convex lenses useful in things like magnifying glasses and cameras, where the ability to manipulate and focus light is essential. Absorption would mean the light is taken in and not passed through (which isn't the case for lenses used in typical optical applications like this), and reflection would mean the light bounces off (but lenses are for transmitting and refracting light, not reflecting it in the context of how they are mainly used for focusing light as shown in the diagram).

Answer:

It refracts.
