Question

8) What is a shadow? How is it formed?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

An opaque object blocks the light falling on it. This creates an area of darkness on the side of the object away from the source of light. A translucent object also creates a faint area of darkness. An area of darkness formed by an opaque object obstructing light is called a shadow

Explanation:

partial light can pass through translucent objects so the shadow formed is partial. *no light can pass through an opaque object so,the shadow formed is very clear

Answer 2

A shadow is actually just a space or region, where there is no light since an opaque object is blocking light rays. The position and intensity of the source of light affect the properties of the type of shadow that is formed.
