Question

How do we see objects?

• A. Light from our eyes leaves and illuminates the objects.
• B. Every object is a light source and sends light to our eyes
• C. Light from a light source is reflected by the object and when these fall on our eyes we see the object
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Light from a light source is reflected by the object and when these fall on our eyes we see the object

Not all objects can produce light of their own, some reflect light falling on them. We see an object when light reflected or emitted by it reaches our eye.

For example, We can see the Sun because the light emitted by it reaches our eye. Also, we can see the moon when the sunlight reflected by the moon reaches our eye.
