The object that does not give out light on its own is the:
  • A
    Star
  • B
    Lighted matchstick
  • C
    Light bulb
  • Shinning mirror
Answer
Correct option: D.
Shinning mirror
An object which does not give out its own light is called a non-luminous object. As we know that mirror is a non-luminous object which does not have its own light. Actually, when sun light falls on the surface of mirror, then all the sunlight is reflected or sent by the mirror towards the certain direction. And to us, it appears as if the light is being given out by the mirror itself. But in reality, mirror light is the sunlight which is reflected from the surface of mirror. Thus, mirror behaves as a the non-luminous. It works as a reflector of sunlight just like the moon.
