Question

Choose the correct option for the given statements.
Statement 1: To see a non-luminous object, we need a source of light.
Statement 2: Light falling on a wooden table gets reflected.

• A. Statement 1 is correct, statement 2 is false
• B. Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is correct
• C. Both statements are false
• D. Both statements are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both statements are correct

Non-luminous objects do not emit light. They reflect the light falling on them from a source and then that reflected light reaches our eyes enabling us to see that object.
Thus, we are able to see non-luminous objects like a wooden table because it reflects the light falling on it.
Hence, both statements are correct.
