Why can't we see objects in a darkened room?
In order to see, the eye must receive light; and darkness is the absence of light. Most of the objects we see around us are visible by reflected light -- reflected sunlight or reflected artificial light. Since darkness is the absence of light, there is no light in the darkness to be reflected from chairs, tables, or people to our eyes, and therefore we can not see these objects.
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.
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.
What objects can be seen from earth because they produce their own light?
Cities can be seen from space.
Why you can see?
We can see because our eyes are receptive to the lightwaves reflected off objects.
What happens to the light rays that are not reflected by and object?
that color is absorbed by the object (therefore you don't see that color. Only reflected colors can be seen)

Why do black objects are seen black?
The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.
Can light be reflected off all types of objects?
No, not objects that are opaque.
Why Do you see objects when light from them is reflected into your eyes?
Our eyes are specifically designed to detect light. The objects reflecting the light change the property of light, including its intensity and color; this allows us to make conclusions about the objects it was reflected from.Our eyes are specifically designed to detect light.

Are moonbeams edible?
No, moonbeams are not edible as they are not physical objects. Moonbeams are simply the light that is reflected from the sun and can be seen as a soft glow in the nighttime sky.
What colors of light are reflected by an opaque black objects?
White Light
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be what?
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth becouse of reflected light energy are said to be
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be?
objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be luminous.
Why are we able to see objects?
light rays are reflected off the object
Do you see objects when light from them is reflected into your eyes?
Yes. That is exactly how you see.
