LIGHT AND SIGHT
Light can be reflected, refracted, and dispersed. Reflection follows the law that the incident angle equals the reflected angle, forming virtual upright images of the same size. Refraction occurs when light changes speed passing between media of different densities. Defects of vision include short-sightedness where distant objects are blurry and long-sightedness where near objects are blurry. Both can be corrected with lenses. Limitations of sight are that we cannot see through opaque objects, tiny objects, or distant objects. Optical illusions form accurate images that are misinterpreted and we have a blind spot where the eye cannot detect images.
