converging lens

• Lente mais espessa no centro do que nas bordas, que faz os raios de luz paralelos convergirem para um único ponto (foco). É usada em lupas, câmeras e lentes corretivas para hipermetropia.

A lens that is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing parallel rays of light to converge to a single point (the focal point). It is commonly used in magnifying glasses, cameras, and corrective lenses for farsightedness.

   • A converging lens is used in a magnifying glass to focus sunlight.
   • The camera uses a converging lens to form a sharp image on the sensor.
   • In the lab, we used a converging lens to demonstrate the principle of refraction.
