How we see: illumination and reflection

We can only see an object when light bounces, or reflects, off its surface and enters our eyes. That's also true for objects that don't make their own light: in a completely dark room, there's no light to reflect, so we can't see anything at all. Mirrors work the same way, they just redirect the reflected light so we see it somewhere new.
