Range isn’t the only aspect of light we don’t see in its full reality. There is also its quality or orientation, called polarization. All light is either polarized (the waves of vibrating energy charges occur on a single plane) or unpolarized (the vibrations occur on multiple planes). You and I don’t perceive polarity, even if you may own polarized sunglasses that help reduce glare by ensuring that only vertical waves, not reflected horizontal waves, come through.
