In video 2 for Chapter 17, they show a block of glass with 2 reflections of light. Why are there two?

A. The light refracts as it goes through the block, and this makes a second reflection.
B. Diffraction at the surface produces multiple images.
C. There is a reflection from the front of the block and from the back of the block
D. There is an additional reflection inside the camera lens.


Ans: C. There is a reflection from the front of the block and from the back of the block
