The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of a concavo-convex lens, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lens Types**: - A lens is a transparent optical device that refracts light. There are different types of lenses, primarily classified as convex and concave lenses. 2. **Defining Concavo-Convex Lens**: - A concavo-convex lens, also known as a meniscus lens, is characterized by having one side that is concave (curved inward) and the other side that is convex (curved outward). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides four options: 1. One side convex and one concave 2. Both convex 3. Both concave 4. One plane and one convex 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: One side convex and one concave - This is the correct description of a concavo-convex lens. - **Option 2**: Both convex - This describes a biconvex lens, which is not correct. - **Option 3**: Both concave - This describes a biconcave lens, which is also not correct. - **Option 4**: One plane and one convex - This describes a plano-convex lens, which is not correct. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and evaluations, the correct answer is that a concavo-convex lens has one side that is convex and one side that is concave. ### Final Answer: The concavo-convex lens has **one side convex and one concave**. ---
