What is the main function of a telescope? a. it brings scientists closer to distant objects. b. it magnifies light received from distant objects. c. it measures the temperature of distant objects. d. it measures the wavelengths of incoming light rays.

A. It brings scientists closer to distant objects.

Explanation:

When light from infinite coming toward the lens of the telescope then this light is converge at the focal plane of the lens. This will image which is formed at the focal plane worked as an object for another lens of the telescope.

Now another lens made the final virtual image which is seen by the observer.

So here in this whole process the main working of Telescope is to form the image of a distant object near to the eye of an observer. So the light coming from the infinite distance is collected together and then a bright image is formed by that light so that observer is able to see the image clearly

so here correct answer would be

A. It brings scientists closer to distant objects.

b. latent learning (the word "latent" itself means something that exists but isn't obvious, only under certain conditions! )
