Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenses are made of glass or other transparent materials for light. They are optically dense so light slows down on entering it. It is called refraction which bends the light on entering and leaving the lenses.

Refraction by lenses can be used for all kinds of optical applications, e.g. camera, telescope, magnifying glasses, solar heating.
