Interact with light means you're playing with something that can be seen and felt, like a beam of sunlight or the glow from a lamp.
Imagine you're in your favorite room, and there's a bright light coming through the window. Now, think about what happens when you wave your hand in front of it. You see a shadow, that is interacting with light! It’s like you're having a little dance with the sunlight.
Like playing with shadows
When you move your hand, you’re blocking part of the light. That blocked part becomes a shadow, and that’s how you know light is there. You can also see this when you stand in front of a lamp, your body blocks some of the light, making a bigger shadow on the wall.
Light is like a friend who follows you
If you move around in the sunlight, your shadow changes shape too! It's as if the light is watching you and changing with every step. This shows that light can be affected by things, just like how water ripples when you drop a rock in it.
So, whenever you play with shadows or notice how light moves, you're interacting with light, just like a kid having fun on a sunny day!
