You can see an object because white light reflects off the object. If you are looking at an orange in blue light, for example, you would see black because the orange is absorbing the blue light. So, for you to see an object, light of the same color has reflect off of it. White light is composed of all the colors of light.

How can you see objects that do not emit light?

Why do I see a white outline around objects?

The white outline around objects that you see is called a halo or glare. It is caused by light scattering or diffraction, which can happen when light passes through different mediums or reflects off surfaces. This can create a visual effect where objects appear to have a glowing or blurry outline.

What would happen if light was not reflected why?

If light was not reflected, objects would appear invisible as there would be no way for the light to bounce off the surface and travel to our eyes. Reflection is essential for us to see and perceive the color and texture of objects around us.


We see objects because?

light from the objects reflects off their surfaces and enters our eyes. Our eyes then convert this light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, which processes the information to create images of the objects we see.


What property of light energy helps you see the objects in the night?

Bioluminescence is the property of light energy that helps you see objects in the night, as certain organisms are able to produce their own light. This light emission allows you to see these organisms and objects in low-light conditions.
