Solution

The correct option is B
False

The energy that produces the sensation of vision by making everything visible is known as light energy.

Our eyes do not emit the light energy instead they have the receptors which sense this energy, which is received after it strikes and reflects back from an object. Light energy is emitted from natural sources like the sun, moon, or man-made sources like a bulb, etc.
