Explain how we see images (eyes) | 1. The light rays go through the pupil. 2. A tiny upside-down image forms on the retina at the back of the eye. 3. The retina changes light energy into electrical signals (impulses). 4. The impulses travel to the brain along the optic nerve, your brain allows you to see the image the right way up. |
What do you call the objects that you can only a see a glow of light through something? | Translucent |
What do you call objects that light cannot travel through? | Opaque |

What is reflection? | Light bouncing back from a surface instead of passing through it. |
