A magnifying glass uses convex lenses to bend light rays so they converge at a single point, magnifying the image. This results in the image appearing larger and clearer to the eye.

Can you heat water a magnifying glass with an artificial light source instead of the sun?

Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light sourcethan what the source has without the magnifying glass.The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no moreheat or light to work with than what enters the glass.The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight upand hang the pot over it.

A Microscope with a single lens is a microscope or magnifying glass?

Magnifying glass is thing which we hold in our hand to magnify a certain thing and we can adjust its magnification with our hand. But the simple microscope which has the same property (or better principle) of a magnifying glass, is fixed to a scale for adjusting through a knob. If you have ever seen a travelling microscope, you would have seen a small lens attached to the vernier scale. this is not a magnifying glass but a simple microscope with a specific/fixed magnification of the scale for eyes.

What happens if you put a magnafying glass under the sun and there's a rainbow on the ground?

If you place a magnifying glass under the sun and there is a rainbow on the ground, the focused sunlight passing through the magnifying glass could potentially start a fire on the surface beneath where it is concentrated. The rainbow itself is caused by sunlight being refracted and reflected by water droplets in the air, and would not affect the magnifying glass's ability to concentrate the sun's rays.
