Scientists use telescopes to make distant objects appear closer. Some parts of a telescope are shown here. Which of the following best describes how the objective lens of this telescope helps a scientist observe the moon? (5.6C)

• The objective lens produces light.

• The objective lens blocks light.

• The objective lens reflects light.

• The objective lens refracts light.

The picture shows a child standing in a swimming pool. Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part? (5.6C)

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.

• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.

• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.
