How we see the light

We have been describing how we see luminous objects by the light shining directly into our eyes and non-luminous objects by light reflecting off them and into our eyes.  We have been able to explain that the eyes can be protected from too much light by not looking directly at light sources and the pupils changing size. Following on from our investigations we were able to draw ray diagrams using a pencil and ruler, with light rays travelling in continuous, straight lines from a light source to the eye.
