It's often possible to see non-luminous objects if you illuminate them with a source

of light, such as a flashlight, a candle, or a drop of golden sunshine.

No object absorbs all of the light that falls on it, so some light is always reflected

from it, and some of that reflected light finds its way to your eye.

Once any of the light falling on the object has reflected from it, it's very much

as if the object were self-luminous.

Can a flashlight be luminous and nonluminous?

No, a flashlight is considered luminous because it generates its own light by converting battery power into light energy. Nonluminous objects do not produce their own light and rely on external light sources for illumination.

It isn't possible


How can a flashlight can be luminous and nonluminous?

A flashlight can be luminous when turned on, emitting light from the bulb. It can be nonluminous when turned off because at that point it is not emitting any light.


Is it possible to see the planet Jupiter without a telescope?

It is very possible. It is actually one of the brightest objects in the night sky.


What does nonluminous body mean?

A nonluminous body is an object that does not emit light of its own. Instead, it reflects light from other sources, such as the Sun or artificial light sources. Examples of nonluminous bodies include the Moon, planets, and most asteroids.


Is it possible to see artificial satellite in night sky?

Yes, that is often possible. Preferably go to an area without streetlights and watch the sky. You will soon see fast moving shiny objects. These are satellites.


Can see through objects?

Seeing through objects like walls or clothing requires advanced technology such as x-ray machines or thermal imaging. It's not possible to naturally see through solid objects with the naked eye due to the way light interacts with matter.


Are light bulbs nonluminous?

Yes, light bulbs themselves are considered nonluminous because they do not produce light on their own. They require electricity to pass through a filament, which then emits light, making the bulb appear luminous.


Is it possible for an objects velocity to be perpendicular to the objects acceleration?

no


What is the term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects?

The term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects is "nearsighted" or "myopic."


How does light makes possible for you to see objects around you?

Light reflects off objects and enters your eyes, where it is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina then converts the light signals into electrical impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain processes these signals into images, allowing you to see objects around you.
