Light Reflection and Refraction

Objects reflect light that falls on them and this reflected light enables us to see things.

Some common optical phenomena associated with light include image formation by mirrors, twinkling of stars, beautiful colors of a rainbow, and bending of light by a medium.

Light is transmitted through a transparent medium, allowing us to see through it.
