Why can't flat lenses focus light? Category: Physics Published: September 30, 2013 By: Christopher S. Baird, author of The Top 50 Science Questions with Surprising Answers and Associate Professor of Physics at West Texas A&M University Actually, flat lenses can focus light if they are built properly. Let us look at the basics of lenses and then at different types of flat lenses. A traditional lens is essentially a curved piece of glass that bends light through a process known as "refraction". Whenever a ray of light travels from one transparent material, such as air, into another transparent m
