The shortest length of the shadow will be taken place for any object when the Sun is directly overhead.

Explanation : A shadow is a space or region where there is no light cause an opaque object is blocking light rays to pass through it.

There are three essential conditions for the formation of shadow.

  • There should be opaque object.
  • There should be a source of light and screen where shadow will be formed.
  • The object should be placed in the path of light.

" The length of shadow depends on the angle made by a source of light with an object. Larger the angle, larger the shadow will be."

When a source of light is directly overhead, the angle made by it with object is zero hence, there is no shadow formed by it.

Therefore the shortest length of the shadow will be taken place for any object when sun is directly overhead of it.
