An orange is placed on a table in a completely dark room, without any source of light. Which of the following choices correctly describes what an observer will see as he looks in the direction of the orange?

A) The orange will not be seen at all because light is not bouncing off its surface.
B) The orange will be seen by the observer immediately, but it will be very dim.
C) The orange will be seen by the observer immediately, but it will be very dim. The orange will become brighter as the observer’s eyes adjust to the darkness.
D) The orange will only be seen after the observer’s eyes adjust to the darkness.
I think its D but it could also be A because it says there is no light source in the room :/ please help

hewwo! just took the test, the answer is:

A) The orange will not be seen at all because light is not bouncing off its surface
hope this helps <3

Ms Sue what if we cant afford oranges. and if im in a wheelchair so i cant dumpster dive

yall givin Ms.Sue a thumbs down but y'all kno she right LOL!

yeet

Is there anything else I can help you with?

To answer the question, it is essential to understand how we perceive objects in the absence of light. When we see objects, it is because light is reflecting off their surfaces and entering our eyes. In this scenario, since there is no source of light, there will be no external light to bounce off the orange's surface.

However, there can still be some other sources of light in the environment, such as ambient light, even in a completely dark room. These light sources can be present from external sources, such as windows, or internal sources, such as electronic devices. Therefore, in most cases, there will still be some dim light entering the room, which may be enough for the observer to perceive the orange, although very faintly.

Based on the given choices:
A) The statement in option A is not accurate. As mentioned, there can still be some ambient light present, allowing for some visibility of the orange, although very dim.

B) Option B is more accurate. The observer may be able to see the orange immediately, but since there is no significant light source, the visibility would be quite faint.

C) Option C goes a step further by stating that the orange will become brighter as the observer's eyes adjust to the darkness. However, in a completely dark room, where the observer is unable to see the surroundings at all, there would be no gradual adjustment of the eyes to make the orange appear brighter. Therefore, option C is not entirely accurate.

D) Option D seems to make the most sense. The orange will only be seen after the observer's eyes adjust to the darkness, as their eyes become more sensitive to the minimal light present.

Considering the given information, option D is the most appropriate choice.

Okay buddy

I suggest you actually try this. What can you see in a totally dark room?

But Jordan has radiating eyes !

Ahhhh!! LOL!
