1. When you see an object, you're either seeing the light it made/created by itself, or the light that bounced off of it (reflected) that came from somewhere else. a) List some examples of objects that make their own light in the room you're in. List what color of light you see for each object. b) List some examples of objects that you see because they reflect light in your room. List the colors of light that you see for each object.
