Bending outward. A convex lens or mirror has at least one side that bulges outward. A convex lens produces converging light rays. A convex mirror produces diverging rays. See also reflect, refract, focal length, focal point
Curved away from the Observer, as seen from the Outside
Denotes a spherically shaped surface, curved outward.
A convex lens curves outwards, and is sometimes known as converging. Light that passes through converges to a focal point.
Curved or rounded resembling the exterior of a sphere or circle.
Bulging. The opposite of CONCAVE. The surface of a sphere seen from outside.
From Latin: rounded, curved. Optics: form of a body, whose surface is outwardly curved.
(pileus) broadly obtuse, equally rounded.
Generally a raised surface relative to the surrounding surfaces. In lathe turning, a convex cut is called a bead.
Curving out like a surface sphere.
curving out, like the outside surface of a sphere
rounded outward, like the outside of a circle.
The rounded or elevated surface.
A surface that's curved outward like the surface of a ball. see also concave
A surface curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere.
raised or curved like the surface of a sphere
Rounded outward like the exterior of a circle.
Curved, as in the shape of the outside of a circle. Usually referring to the price/required yield relationship for option-free bonds.
An outward-curving shape. (i.e. the back of a spoon)
a polyhedron in which all the flat surfaces slope outwards
Describes a surface that bulges outward.
curving or bulging outward
shape: to curve outwards.
curving outward, bulging out
Curved or rounded like the exterior of a sphere. Convex mirrors (also known as bulls-eye, sorcerer's glass and chaperone's mirror) cast a unique 180 degree reflection.
Bubble or spherical formed (outside surface). Opposite of concave
A surface of a lens is convex if it curves outwards.
Rounded outward. The outside of a round vessel, circle or sphere.
Outward, (from flat) or slightly bulged surface.
An outward facing curve - A series of projections, each stepped progressively farther forward with height. A common device on the brickwork of chimneys.
rising in a circular form - opposite of concave.
Referring to a surface which is not perfectly flat but mound-shaped as the outside of a plate or bowl. The leeward side of a full sail takes a convex shape. The opposite of concave.
Pertaining to a linear structure, margin, or surface that is curved outward (cf. concave).
lens shape: both sides bow out from the centerline, see also concave, plano-convex
Projecting outwards, the area outside a curve
Outside of a circle. Longest point is at center and gradually gets shorter. Like an inverted V.
Term used to describe cabinetry or moulding that curves outward.
An awning configuration characterized by a series of parallel bows in the shape of a convex curve. It produces a radius shape with flat ends.
Curving outwards: like the exterior surface of a baseball.
curved like the outer surface of a sphere
Curved upwards, when seen from the top of the pan.
1. Curving outward. 2. Curving outward like a ball.
Bowed, as in the shape of a curve. Usually referring to the price/required yield relationship for option-free bonds.
Curving outward, like the surface of a ball.
A solid curved surface similar to the outside surface of a sphere.
is a type of optical lens in which the light rays passing through it are made to converge by the outward bulge of the glass surface.
adj. having a surface or boundary that curves or bulges outward, as the exterior of a sphere
Having a surface that is curved or rounded outward.
An outward-curving shape. (i.e. my belly :-)
Curving outward†like the surface of a sphere.
Curve shaped like the outside arc of a circle
Outward curving (used to describe the tail shape)
A surface like the outside of a sphere or ball.
used to describe a cap that is regularly rounded or broadly obtuse
