Solution
If we are in a dark room, we cannot see objects in the room. However, objects outside the room are visible to us. An object becomes visible when light reaches our eye after being reflected from the object. If there is no light in the room, then the objects inside the room cannot reflect any light. Hence, we cannot see in a dark room. If there is light present outside the room, then we can see the objects outside the room.
