To determine which statement best describes an application suitable for a lens, we need to consider the type of lens in the diagram (which is not shown here, but let's assume it's a converging lens, often used in these contexts).

  1. A flashlight that will allow light exiting the flashlight to reach a bigger area. - This suggests a lens that spreads light, which could be a diverging lens, not a converging one.

  2. A movie projector that will break white light into a spectrum of different colors. - This usually involves a prism rather than a lens that focuses or converges light.

  3. A telescope that will form a larger image that is easier to see. - This is typically a function of a converging lens, which is designed to focus light and create larger images from distant objects.

  4. Binoculars that will make an image seem closer. - This also usually involves the use of converging lenses in a way that magnifies distant objects.

Given this context, the best choice would be:

A telescope that will form a larger image that is easier to see.

This statement aligns most closely with the primary function of a converging lens in applications like telescopes.
