Can an object being heated be hotter than the source heating it?

Yes, the only way for that to work is if you have the right amount of oxygen, though. Blue fire can get hotter if it's heated by red fire and sand can be heated by lightning, causing it to turn to glass. Without the the right amount of oxygen, the object being heated will only get as hot as its source. Very rarely does the object get hotter than its source.

What is the size of the shadow and the distance of the object from the light source when a shadow is formed?
If you are using a point light source, the shadow's size is the object's size divided by the distance from the light source to the object multiplied by the distance from the light source to the shadow.
