Any lens that is "thicker in the center" than on the edges is generally described as a convex lens and will function as a converging lens when it is operating in air.

3. A converging lens is sometimes used as a magnifying glass. Explain how this works; specifically, identify the general region where the object must be placed in order to produce the magnified effect...

In this unit, we will categorize lenses as converging lenses and diverging lenses. A converging lens is a lens which converges rays of light which are traveling parallel to its principal axis. Converging lenses can be identified by their shape;

As long as the object is outside of the focal point the image is real and inverted. When the object is inside the focal point the image becomes virtual and upright. ... The image is always virtual and is located between the object and the lens.

The above applet shows: two arrows, a converging lens, and rays of light being emmitted by the red arrow. The red arrow is the object, while the green arrow is the image that results after the rays have passed through the lens.

This interactive tutorial utilizes ray traces to explore how images are formed by the three primary types of converging lenses, and the relationship between the object and the image formed by the lens as a function of distance between the object and the focal points. ... Positive, or converging, thin lenses unite incident...
