Light source

Since it's talking about the light reflecting on the desk or on the eyes of someone, I think it's appropriate to talk about the light source.

La luz en un medio homogéneo, como el aire, Se propaga siempre en línea recta y en todas las direcciones, A cada una de las líneas rectas que se propaga la luz desde un foco luminoso la denominamos rayo luminoso.
La velocidad con que se propaga la luz depende del medio que atraviesa,
Siempre en el aire es mas rápida(velocidad)300.000 Km/s.
