How does light allow us to see?

Objects absorb light at certain frequencies and reflects light at other frequencies. The reason we see colours is because that is the frequency of light reflected, the reason we see black is because all colours are absorbed....it's nothing. So the reason we see objects is because light is reflected from them, this light then meets our eyes and creates an image.


Why are you able to see objects around us?

I think this is basic science. The light from its source is reflected by the objects into our eyes. Light travels in a straight line therefore, when its path is blocked, it will change directions.


If all objects around us were to reflect light ina regular way what problems would you face?

we can see objects when light reflected by them fall on our eyes. it is because of irregular reflection that we can see objects from every direction. irregular reflection of sunlight by objects around us enables our room to have light during the day even if sunlight does not directly fall into it. basicly not being able to see cus u would b practicly blinded by light


How do we see luminous objects?

We can see non-luminous objects because the light reflect off the object and into our eyes that's why at night you can only see a faint out line of the objects around you


What is the role of light in making us see anything around us?

It is the light because of which we are able to see things. The light rays fall on objects and get reflected. These rays when enter our eyes let us visualize the thing from which it was reflected. If light wouldn't be there then we won't be able to see anything at all.

Why can you see objects in outer space?

Light from various sources such as the sun and other solar systems reflect off the object and so it appears in our eye. Light is a wave and doesn't need any atoms to be able to travel so we are able to see.

What are the everyday objects which absorbs the colors in sunlight?

All visible objects with a defined color absorb colours of the sunlight. If you see e.g. a red box, it absorbs all the green and blue parts of the sun light. While black objects absorb all colours (and therefore get most hot), white objects absorb almost nothing, so keeping cool.

when viewing objects under high-power, the field of view is smaller, but you are able to see more details.

Why can you see objects in different colours?
