When we enter a darkened cinema hall from bright sunshine, at first we cannot see anything clearly. After a short time our vision improves. This is because in bright sunshine the pupil of our eye is small and when we just enter the darkened room very little light enters our eye due.to which we cannot see properly After a while, when the pupil of our eye expands, more light enters our eye and we can see clearly.
