Question

what happens to the light in a convex lens? the light speeds up while passing through the lens. the light converges when it leaves the lens. the light passes through the lens without refracting.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A convex lens is a converging lens. When parallel light rays pass through a convex lens, the refracted rays converge at a point called the focal point. This is a fundamental property of convex lenses. Light slows down when entering a denser medium (like the glass of the lens) and speeds up when exiting to a less - dense medium (air). But the key characteristic related to the behavior of light in a convex lens is its converging ability. Also, light always refracts when passing through a lens (except for the optical axis where the deviation is zero in an ideal case, but overall refraction occurs).

Answer:

The light converges when it leaves the lens.
