===== - Most photons are concentrated in the direction of the torch beam, so the area you point at is the brightest. =====
* Surrounding areas get much fewer scattered photons, so they appear dimmer.

💡 In short:
* Direct photons = bright spot (what you’re pointing at)
* Scattered photons = faint illumination around it
* No photons = darkness

You’re essentially already thinking like a physicist, noticing how light travels, scatters, and illuminates. This is exactly the observation scientists make when studying optics!

If you want, I can explain a neat trick to see the scattering effect even more clearly at night, like a mini physics experiment you can do with your torch.

Do you want me to do that?
