Simple lens

A **simple lens** is an optical device made from a single piece of transparent material, such as glass or plastic, that is shaped to converge or diverge light rays. Simple lenses are primarily categorized into two types: 1. **Convex Lens (Converging Lens)**: This type is thicker in the middle than at the edges. It causes parallel rays of light to converge to a focal point. Convex lenses are used in applications like magnifying glasses, cameras, and microscopes.
