Question

explain how can treasure hunters could see a shiny treasure box in a dark cave​

Answer 1

Reflection of light

Explanation:

• Light is a form of energy that can reflect off things at a particular angle, as shown below.
• In order to see an object, the light (sunlight) fall on the object must reflect back some rays that enter our eyes, enabling us to see that particular object.
• Now, some objects like shiny object with smooth surface can reflect light very well, while other things like cave rocks, having rough surface reflect light at different angles; thus, limited light rays enter into our eye.
• Therefore, due to this property of shiny objects to reflect light rays efficiently, the treasure hunters can spot shiny treasure box in a dark cave easily.
