Light travels as waves
Waves interfere with each other
We see reflected light.
We can see the source of light and the things illuminated but not the light inbetween Why?
Light is reflected in all directions from all things why does it not interfere between the object we are looking at and our eyes, light is also reflected from the eyes which should also interfere with light coming in.
Example throw a single pebble in a pond you get easily recognisable wave , same with 2 or 3 but throw a handful in and you just get a mess of waves.
