1. Identify the type of lenses.

2. Name the types of convex lenses with figures.

3. Why the principal focus of concave lens is virtual? Explain with figure.

The "principal focus" for a concave mirror is exactly the same thing as the
focal point, which we may have heard of before.
If we were to take a concave mirror and shine a whole lot of rays of light
straight at it (all parallel to each other),
then all of those beams would be reflected by the mirror, and they’d all
converge at one point.
That point is what’s called the focal point (or the principal focus).

On this picture, the focal point (the principal focus) is labeled with the F.
4. How thickness of a lens affects its focal length?
The greater the thickness of the convex lens in the middle, the smaller will be
its focal length and vice versa.
