Glass is transparent meaning light passes through it and therefore you can see through it, but some light reflects back and if the surface is very smooth as glass often is then the light reflected back can be seen as a reflected image.

You can see objects outside through a window because light from the objects outside passes through the window and enters your eyes. This allows your eyes to detect the shapes and colors of the objects, creating the perception of the scene outside.


Why do things look distorted when you look into a fish bowl?

When you look into a fishbowl or any curved glass container, the light bends as it passes through the curved surface, causing the objects inside to appear distorted or magnified. This distortion is due to the refraction of light at the curved boundary between air and glass, altering the way the objects are perceived by your eyes.

Does looking through red glass at a red object with a white background look white?

No, looking through red glass at a red object with a white background will not make the red object appear white. Instead, the red object will appear darker or more saturated against the white background. This is because the red glass will filter out most of the red light, making the object's color more pronounced.

When you look through the glass in a window why can you see the glass and your reflection?

When you look through a window, you can see both the glass and your reflection due to the way light interacts with the glass surface. Some light passes through the glass, allowing you to see what's outside, while other light reflects off the surface, creating a mirror-like effect that shows your reflection. The visibility of both depends on the angle of the light and your position relative to the window. If the outside is brighter than the inside, your reflection will be more pronounced.
