Students often use a hand lens to make small objects appear larger. A hand lens makes objects appear larger because the lens

• changes the color of the light

• bends light passing through it

• increases the light’s strength

• converts light energy to heat

Which of these best explains why a student can see her reflection in a computer monitor when the monitor is turned off?

• Black objects absorb most of the light striking them.

• The glass allows light to be transmitted through it.

• Smooth, shiny objects reflect a great amount of light.

• Computers produce light when they are being used.
