How does a window reflect light?

A window reflects light because light, which is a wave, travels slower in glass than in air. It travels at about 2/3 the speed in glass as it does in air. Also light travels at about 3/4 the speed in water as it does in air and so that is the reason light reflects off the surface of water. The greater the difference in speed between the two mediums, the more light is reflected at the surface boundary. An amazing experiment is to submerge glass in a transparent liquid that has the same "index of refraction". The 'index of refraction" of a substance is simply the measure of the speed with which light travels in the substance. If you submerge the glass, and the speed of light is the same in the liquid as in the glass, the glass seems to disappear. The reason is seems to disappear is because light is no longer reflected off the surface of the glass, and if you think about it, that is the only reason that you can see a glass in the first place.

Why can't you see in bright places?

The first thing about why can't we see in bright places is-when we live in a dark place or normal lighted place like sun light, so according to condition of light retina of our eyes is balanced only for that light, but when we move from dark to bright places, so abruptly retina has to face bright light and it get reduced. this is the reason why can't we see in bright places.

What does the iris of the human eye do when the light is bright?

The Iris controls the size of the pupil to control the brightness of the light that's allowed to enter the eye. This is a protective measure when the light is too bright and it also opens the iris in low light situations to allow the eye to see more. Well, the iris changes the size of the pupil so when you are in bright light your pupil will get smaller because the eye will absorb all light striking it. However, when you are in a dark room or place your pupil will get bigger/wider because it has no light to absorb it so your eye wants light. For example think of the pupil trying to look for light so it has to get wider!
