Two lenses have exactly the same curvature on both sides, and yet they

refract light differently. Which of the following could explain this?
Lens A
Lens B
OA. Lens A and lens B are made from two different materials with
different optical properties.
OB. Lens A was facing with its more curved side facing the incident
light, and lens B was turned the other way.
OC. The curvature of the lenses does not determine how the lenses

Final answer:

The different refractive properties of lenses can be explained by the fact that they are made from different materials with different optical properties.


Step-by-step explanation:

The different way the lenses refract light can be explained by option OA: Lens A and lens B are made from two different materials with different optical properties. When light passes through a lens, it bends or refracts. The degree of refraction depends on the refractive index of the material. If Lens A and Lens B are made of different materials, it means they have different refractive indices, explaining the difference in how they refract light.
