The plano lens is either convex-concave on one side and Plano Flat

the other.


Not quite. IF concave on one side and flat on the other, it's a

minus power
lens. IF convex on one side and flat on the other, it's a plus power

lens.
The only way a plano lens can be curved is for it to be convex on one

side
and concave on the other. The curvature of each respective side will

depend
upon the index of refraction of the lens material in order to remain

plano
in power.

If just flat then it is not a lens. . That simple Max.


Hardly. Any plano-plano transparent media can become a lens,

dependent upon
its usage. For example, a neutral density lens for a camera is

almost
always plano-plano, as are colored filters for the same purpose. All

are
correctly termed lenses.

Do you really want to continue this debate? You're out of your

league here.
