(a) Parallel rays of light are refracted by a convex lens to a point called the focus.

(b) The image in a convex lens depends upon the distance of the object from the lens.

Explanation

Converging Lens or Convex Lens -  It is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves outwards. In other words, it is thick across the middle and thin at the upper and lower edges., because of which the light that enters the lens, gets focused, or converged. Due to this effect, it is also known as a positive lens or a converging lens.

The image formed by a convex lens is both real and virtual depending on the position of the object, which means both diminished and magnified images can be produced.
