Magnifying Glass and Eye Glasses Comparison - Physics Forums
2013年1月26日 · A magnifying glass is a converging lens - it tends to make light rays converge. In particular, parallel rays will converge to a point - called the "focus". Light scattered from something, passing through the lens, will converge to an image - so the light will appear to the eye as if it were coming from the image location.
[Optics] Starting a fire with a magnifying glass - Physics Forums
