A. Yes; the light of the sun, or the light of a candle, or the light from houses, trees, and fields.
Q. Where does the light of houses, trees, and fields come from?
A. The light of the sun (or of some lamp or candle) is reflected from their surfaces.
Q. Why are some surfaces brilliant like glass and steel, and others dull like lead?
A. Those surfaces which reflect the most light, are the most brilliant; and those which absorb light are dull.
Q. What is meant by reflecting light?
A. Throwing the rays of light back again, from the surface on which they light.
Q. What is meant by absorbing light?
A. Letting the rays of light sink below the surface which they touch, so as not to be seen.
