"If you were to turn off the room lights for a moment and then cover all the windows with black construction paper to prevent any entry of light into the room, then you would notice that nothing in the room would be visible."
This quote is confusing because things are visible because our eyes adjust. Even right after there is no light some things are still visible. I know its wrong because we did that same thing and i could see some things right after we covered everything.
If you were to turn the lights off in a room and not let ANY light in then we wouldn't see much but some things are still visible. Our eyes adjust over time and then we can see much better.
"When a room full of objects (or a table, a shirt or a sky) looks black, then the objects are not generating nor reflecting light to your eyes. And without light, there would be no sight."
This quote is confusing because we can actually see those objects.
A room full of objects in a completely dark room, the objects can be visible because our eyes adjust.

Hm, I need some help to understand this.
What does it mean to say that a room is completely dark? Was our classroom completely dark? Why or why not?
Would a person be able to see in a completely dark room? Why or why not? Why do you believe it?
Please make a NEW POST titled "Journal entry 9/21 continued" and complete the assignment.
