If our eyes adjust to light why don't they adjust when we look at the sun?
light from the sun bounces back from objects but eyes only allow light which has bounced back from an object.
How do you we see non luminous objects?
We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.
How do you get moonlight when the moon is a non luminous object?
as we know moon reflects the sun light and moon is a non luminous object we can see the reflection of the sun's light
How do the sun determine a shadow?
The sun does not determine the shadow, the object that stops its light does.
Which object is capable of producing its own light?
The sun is capable of producing its own light.
If our eyes adjust to light why don't they adjust when we look at the sun?
light from the sun bounces back from objects but eyes only allow light which has bounced back from an object.
Do you see an object when light from your eyes hit that object?
No you see the object because the light refelects from the object into your eyes
How do you we see non luminous objects?
We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.
Why does the light enter to your eyes?
The light bounces off the object to get into our eyes. Actually there are many beams of light, but they don't all reach to your eyes.
Why there is no penumbra in shadow of sun?
The sun has no shadow. A shadow is the region that light from the source can't reach because there is some object in the way. But the sun is the source of light in the solar system. No object can prevent the sun's light from reaching the sun.
What happens when light energy hits an object?
The light gets reflected from the object and into your eyes so you can see
Does the color of an object appear to be the same color as the light that it absorbs?
No. If the object absorbs that color, then there's none left to travelfrom there to your eyes, is there !The color you see is the light that the object couldn'tabsorb, so itbounced from the object to your eyes.
Why does white light break up into colors?
The light bounces off the object creating a color reaction to your eyes making your eyes see the color of that object.
Is it true that you see an object when light from it hits your eyes?
Yes, that is correct. Please note that the object itself doesnt create the light - it mearly relfects the ambient light (which, for example, comes from light blubs or the sun). It is this reflected light that the eye picks up and - with help from the brain - interprets into an image which we "see".
Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appeares to your eyes?
Reflected
How does an object give of light?
If an object gives off light, it is a luminous object.The luminous object gives off its energy and we see it. If you shine light on an object, it is an illuminated object, it just reflects the light back into your eyes.
Is it true that we see an object when light from our eyes hit that objects?
No, that's not true. It's the other way round - light from the object hits our eyes. We see the light that enters our eye.
