•x A
The lens causes light to reflect back towards the observer, creating an image larger than the actual object being observed.
The lens causes light to refract as it bends through the lens, creating an image that appears larger to the observer's eye.
The lens absorbs more light than it transmits, causing a distorted image to form that appears larger than th actual size of the object.
_×
The lens causes the light to diffract around the sides of the magnifying glass, which bends the light into an image larger than the object's actual size.

The correct statement that describes how magnifying lenses enlarge an object's image is:
The lens causes light to refract as it bends through the lens, creating an image that appears larger to the observer's eye.
Magnifying lenses work by bending (refracting) light rays that pass through them so that they converge or diverge in such a way that the viewer's eye perceives a larger image of the object being observed.
