The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "A convex lens is ................ in middle and thin at the periphery," we need to analyze the properties of a convex lens. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Convex Lens:** - A convex lens is a transparent optical device that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges (periphery). 2. **Identifying the Characteristics:** - The middle part of the lens, where the light converges, is the thickest. This is due to the curvature of the lens, which allows it to focus light rays to a point. 3. **Filling in the Blank:** - Given that the question states "A convex lens is ................ in middle and thin at the periphery," we can conclude that the appropriate word to fill in the blank is "thicker." 4. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the complete statement is: "A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thin at the periphery."

A convex lens of focal length 10 cm is painted black at the middle portion as shown in figure. An object placed at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. Then

Assertion:A convex lens and a concave lens are kept in contact. They will behave as a diverging lens if focal length of convex lens is more. Reason: Power of a concave lens is always less than the power of a convex lens, as power of concave lens is negative whereas power of convex lens is positive.
