Lenses work like magical windows that let you see things clearly. In your eye, a special lens focuses light from the world so you can see it, just like in a camera. If the lens is out of shape or dirty, everything gets blurry. That’s why glasses help people see better! When a camera takes a photo, its lens lets only the right amount of light hit the film or sensor, making sure the picture comes out sharp.
Examples
- A magnifying glass works like a lens, letting you see tiny objects more clearly.
- When a camera zooms in, its lens changes shape to make distant things look closer.
