As a person views picture one way, he sees craters. When he turns it 180 degrees, the craters become bumps, the perceptual phenomena are due to _______________?

Correct answer: C. light and shadow

  • A. linear perspective
  • B. convergence
  • C. light and shadow
  • D. relative position

Explanation

The visual system normally assumes light comes from above, so shadows make surfaces appear either convex or concave. Rotating the picture reverses this light-and-shadow interpretation, turning craters into bumps.
