Even if the material is the same, the thick lens is stronger because strength increases when thickness increases. If you pull on the lens in its plane and it is twice as thick then it is twice as strong. If you push on the lens perpendicular to it and it is twice as thick then it is eight times stronger. This is strength of materials theory taken in college for engineering.

Does the thickness of rubber bands change the pitch of its sound?
Yes, the thickness of a rubber band can affect the pitch of its sound. Thicker rubber bands tend to produce lower pitches, while thinner rubber bands produce higher pitches. This is because thicker rubber bands vibrate at a slower rate compared to thinner ones.
What factors affect the pitch of the sound produced by the rubber band?
The pitch of a sound produced by a rubber band is mainly affected by its tension and thickness. Tightly stretched rubber bands produce higher pitches, while loosely stretched ones produce lower pitches. Thicker rubber bands typically produce lower pitches compared to thinner ones.
Are smaller magnets stronger than larger magnets?
Not necessarily. The strength of a magnet is determined by its material and how it is magnetized, not its size. Larger magnets may have more surface area to attract objects, but the strength comes from their composition.
Do stronger tornadoes last longer than weaker ones?
Generally, stronger tornadoes have longer lifespans than weaker tornadoes. Strong tornadoes are typically associated with more intense and organized thunderstorms, which can sustain the conditions necessary for a tornado to persist for a longer period of time. Weaker tornadoes, on the other hand, often form from less stable atmospheric conditions and have shorter durations.
What is the material you can't see through?
Opaque materials, such as wood, metal, and thick plastics, are ones that you can't see through because they don't allow light to pass through. These materials absorb or reflect light rather than allowing it to transmit through them.
Why are some telescopes stronger than other ones?
Because some have thicker lenses.
Do people prefer thicker or thinner lip gloss?
I don't know about anyone else, but i prefer thinner gloss, because sometimes i find thicker gloss harder to apply since the thick ones are usually sticky. Thinner lip gloss is just overall, easier to apply.
Why do spectacles have thin lenses?
Spectacles will have as thin or thick lenses as needed to to give the wearer good vision. But sinsce heavy spectacles are more uncomfortable to wear than lighter ones, opticians generally tries to make the lenses as thin as possible.
Do curling wands come in different sizes?
yes normally they do. you can also get ones that start off thick and get thinner towards the end of the stick :)
Why is it important to use thicker cuttings instead of thinner ones?
Thicker cuttings are easier than thinner ones
What did Arctic men wear?
Generally, many thinner layers are better than a few thick ones. Modern fabrics allow this. But fur is good if you can't get the newer stuff.
What are progressive glasses?
Ones with varifocal lenses.
How much are glasses without lenses?
Glasses without lenses? as in fake ones? why would you want them? U can just go to a 3d movie, get a pair of those and pop the lenses out.
What are my options for extended-wear contact lenses?
Contact lenses that you can leave on for a long time are called extended wear lenses. These are the ones that you can wear to sleep. Some gas permeable lenses can be worn up to a month at a time.
Why are columns of the top in the top of a building are thinner than the ones are the bottom?
Bottom ones have to bear more weight
Why do people always wish they were prettier thinner had nice clothes etc.?
Not all people do and the smart ones know that to think such things is a waste of energy. There is always going to be people prettier than you, thinner and have more expensive clothes. It's who the person is inside that counts. Women should be more confident in themselves than this and work on their stronger points.
Does a camera have 2 sets of lenses that are used to form and enlarge an image?
Some cameras will have two sets of lenses, such as ones with a telephoto lens. These use two lenses to focus on and enlarge images.
