Question

Non-luminous objects are visible because they reflect light.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Drawing the diagram of the situation:

1. Luminous objects are those objects which emit their own light.
2. Example: The sun, candle, bulb, etc.
3. Non-luminous objects are those objects which do not emit light.
4. Example: Chair, human body, wall, etc.
5. When a light ray coming from a luminous object strikes a non-luminous object it reflects from the non-luminous object and becomes visible to us.
6. Therefore, non-luminous objects are visible because they reflect light from luminous objects.

Hence, the statement of the question is true.
