Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "relative luminance" refers to the amount of light reflected by an object relative to the amount reflected by surrounding objects. This can affect our perception of object shape, color, and depth. Choices A, B, and C refer to other visual perception concepts: continuity refers to how our brains fill in missing parts of objects or scenes, interposition refers to objects blocking each other in our field of view, and retinal disparity refers to the slight differences in the images that each eye sees, which our brains use to perceive depth.
