Difference between Refractive index and Thin lens

Refractive index vs. Thin lens

In optics, the refractive index or index of refraction of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium. In optics, a thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical axis between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces.

Similarities between Refractive index and Thin lens

Refractive index and Thin lens have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Lens (optics), Optics, Radius of curvature (optics).

Lens (optics)

A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.
