Question: Shadow of an object falls in...

Shadow of an object falls in

Explanation

Solution

Light is blocked by an obstacle which does not allow light to pass through . light then the object so it blocks from the darkness. So in imagination form with respect to object front light and back darkness

Step by step solution
Shadow is an opaque object
A shadow is formed when an opaque object is placed in front of light . it blocks the way of light to pass through and creates the shadow of that shape
An opaque object means the object which blocks the light to pass through Either it reflects or get absorbed
Do you ever wonder why shadows are black?
well,
When you move the object close to the screen the shadows overlap, then it turns to be very dark so it eventually turns to be black
So let’s to come the direction the shadow is formed
Shape of an object gives the shape of its shadow it changes eventually according to the position of the light along with the object the position of the object along with the surface on which shadows form
The closer the an object is to the light source the larger the shadow forms
as light travels in straight line an object blocks the path of the light to pass this is the reason why it forms the opposite side of the light source
Shadow of an object falls in the direction opposite to that of source of light

Additional information
Transparent objects cannot form a shadow. If we take a glass slab, no shadow is formed because it allows light to pass through it.
shadow of a fire, the light beam must be about as bright or brighter than the light created by the fire itself. .Note that fire can have a shadow not because the incoming light beam scatters off the light in the flame

Note
Be careful the only opaque and partially translucent does not allow light to pass through It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. Imagining the diagram in while answering this
