Understanding Reflection of Light – The Key to Seeing the World

Most people think of mirrors when they think of the reflection of light, but did you know that reflection is what lets us see almost every object? From apples, to books, to the person next to you, the only reason we see objects that don’t produce light is because of light reflecting off of them. Learn how reflection works and how it lets us see the world around us.

I absolutely love this series. Hopefully they'll do videos on Polarization and Epi Fluorescence. Good stuff and props to Edmund for keeping the lil scientists interested.

Mam I have two questions
1)Why some objects absorbs more light than the other ?
2) What makes the light to get reflected?

Explain please: how can a mirror or “reflected” surface, photocopy us 100%? How can it reflect our very look and movement? I mean it can’t see us right how does it actually mimick us?? I believe it’s reflection but maybe we are some how holographic, as the mirror isnt copying us but we are reflecting our physical thru light all the way thru the mirror and beyond but the mirror being “reflective” captures this.. so our eyes are bouncing back the image yet can’t see the reality as we are being beamed in from our light source hence the “holographic theme” like maybe the sun is a huge projection screen that’s projecting a movie called the universe and it’s just one big movie set and we are the characters our creator made from their alien Android tablet 🤔 it’s possible right.. we don’t know what it is as there is no way to get close enough without melting instantly but seems to be our life source…
