Answer 2

The object that will make the darkest shadow when placed in front of a light source is a mirror.

Detailed answer

The mirror is what will produce the darkest shadow when placed in front of a light source as we all know that mirror is opaque in nature.

• The opaque nature of the mirror does not allow any light to flow through it so it creates the darkest shadow.
• All the other material makes either a smaller or lighter shadow as light may flow through them that is either translucent or transparent in nature.

• Shadow is created when light does not flow through an object.
