What is the primary source of illumination for our eyes?

The flash light

The plane mirror

The sun (correct)

The movie screen

What happens when someone walks in front of you while watching a movie?

The light is transmitted from the movie screen to your eyes

The light is reflected from the movie screen to the person's eyes

The light is absorbed by the person walking in front of you

The light is diffracted, blocking your vision of the screen (correct)

What is the principle behind the formation of images in a plane mirror?

The law of transmission

The law of diffusion

The law of refraction

The law of reflection (correct)
