Because of the phenomenon of refraction. Light as it travels in a medium would travel at a constant speed. But as it changes from one medium to another due to the change in its speed it gets refracted from its original path. This makes the object to look enlarged as it is placed in between the principal focus and the optic centre of a convex lens.

Compared to its actual size how will an object seen through a convex lens appear?
LARGER!!
What happens when an object refracts light?
Light slows down and changes direction, determined by the index of refraction. Magnifying lenses bend lots of light rays towards a single point making the object appear larger.
Place an object between a magnifying lens and its focal point the image is?
Place an object between a magnifying lens and its focal point. The image is right side up and larger than the object
How many times will a microscope lens with a power of 20X magnify an object?
the object will appear 20 times larger
What do you use to oberrve matter?
To observe matter the most common tools used are microscopes and magnifying lenses. Microscopes allow us to see objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Magnifying lenses are used to make small objects appear larger which can help with observation. Additionally spectroscopes are often used to observe the light given off by matter which can tell us a lot about the composition of an object. Microscopes - used to see objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye Magnifying lenses - used to make small objects appear larger Spectroscopes - used to observe the light given off by matter to learn more about its composition
What object can change the behavior of light waves in order to make an object appear larger than actual size?
A Magnifying Glass.
When looking through a covex lens will an object appear larger or smaller?
larger
How do magnifying glasses work?
A magnifying glass is much thicker than it is around the edges, which is called "convex". When this is held close to an object, the light waves are bent and this allows the object to appear larger than it is for better viewing.

What is a magnifying glass and how is it used?
IT is a object that makes another object larger

To make an object look larger?
Use a microscope or magnifying glass. (Something that magnifies objects.)
Place an object between a magnifying lens and its focal point the image is?
Place an object between a magnifying lens and its focal point. The image is right side up and larger than the object
How much larger than normal does an object appear with a low-power objective?
how much larger than normal does an object appear with lower power objective?
How is a magnifying use?
Magnifying lenses are used to magnify or make the object viewed appear bigger to observe it more clearly. *See the Web Links and Related Questions for more information.
