Kook-In ( Gina) Jo, Year 12, Billanook College. This picture shows how the light bounces, reflects. Light is a wave but this makes me think how it come be like little balls. It also make me think of the all the types of lights that are bouncing around. l like the way that reflection is so simple but when you see so many its complicated. | |||
