A lens is a piece of
transparent material, such as
glass or plastic, that is used to
focus light and form an image.

LENSES
Whereas mirrors produce images by reflection, lenses produce
images by refraction. Depending upon their “thickness”, lenses
are classified as “thick” or “thin”. In this course, we will only
consider “thin” lenses. In effect, therefore, we disregard the
thickness of the lens assuming it to be a line.

There are two main types of lenses called convex (also known
as converging ) and concave (also known as diverging ).
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges while
concave lenses are thicker at the edges than in the middle.
