We can see each other in the classroom because we reflect visible light. When light from a source such as a light bulb or the sun shines on an object, the object absorbs some of the light and reflects the rest of it. The colors we see are the result of the light that is reflected back to our eyes. In this case, we can see each other because the light from the classroom's lighting is reflecting off of us and reaching our eyes.
