Question

Explain (not just list) where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities

Answer 1

Your eyes

Rainbows

Light bending in a glass of water

Glasses

Camera lenses

Object dislocation in water

Binoculars

Basically anything that has to do with light bending in a medium (glass, plastic, water, oil...) of any kind. Just look around, you'll find many examples :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection: you look in the mirror.

Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.

Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light
