i did this experiment with a light and a plane-convex lense.
i put the plane convex lense right in front of the ray box i was
using
with the plane side facing it.When the light came out it was bending.
i could see it bending on the peice of paper. How come that happens?

help please. i need the info for a project.

First, write out 100 times: "the singular of lenses is lens". Your
teacher might just be sufficiently old-fashioned to deduct marks for
spelling errors.

What are other people's (un)favourite optical mis-spellings? On
drawings, I have seen:
mirrow
lazer

Seems the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

FYI


Sorry, but I just can't help pointing out that "lense" is a most
singular way to spell lens.
