What conclusion is drawn from the difference in the size of the two shadow
Answers
Answer:
Conclusion:
Were you able to change the size of the object’s shadow? Before you could change the size of the shadow you needed to generate it first. You probably didn’t see a shadow when you placed the object next to the flashlight and not directly into its path of light. This is because light travels in a straight line and, because the object was not located in the direct light path, it could not block the light from its source. Once you placed the object directly in the path, however, you should have seen a shadow on the wall that had the same shape as the object. This time the opaque object was able to block the light from the light source, creating the dark shadow on the wall.
You should have observed the shadow’s size decrease when you moved the object farther from the light source and increase when you moved it closer. You block a much larger portion of the light from the source when your object is closer, which increases the size of the shadow. Now you know how to make spooky Halloween shadows grow and shrink!
