Question
You are provided with a printed piece of paper. Using this paper how will you differentiate between a convex lens and a concave lens?
Solution
First, we place the lens on a piece of printed paper. Then we lift it slowly. If the words of the printed paper, seen through the lens becomes bigger than is convex lens otherwise concave lens.
