Competency Based Question
If there Is no light, there is no sight!
Apart from looking directly at a light source, most of what we see is as a
result of the process of reflection.
Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and
shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as
it hit the surface. This is called specular or regular reflection.
If you look at a bird, light has reflected off that bird and travelled in nearly
all directions. This is diffuse reflection. If some of that light enters your eyes, it
hits the retina at the back of your eyes. An electrical signal is passed to your brain,
and your brain interprets the signals as an image.
