For each of the following items, fill in the number of the appropriate Key Term from the preceding list.
a. _____ Lens thicker at the center than at the edge
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To pick the right word from list: Lens thicker at the centre than at the edge.
Answer to Problem AM
The lens thicker at the centre than at the edge is convex lens.
Explanation of Solution
There are two types of lenses. These are convex lens and concave lens. The lens that is thicker at the centre than at the edge is convex lens whereas the lens that is thinner at the centre and thicker at the edges is concave lens.
Conclusion:
The convex lens is thicker at the centre and is thinner at the edges.
