Manipulate the light around it.
The shadow will become smaller
if an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger,if it goes further away,the shadow gets smaller
A Shadow is the absence of light next to an area of light. The absence of light is caused by an object that is in the direct path of light so that light cannot reach the area that the shadow is in. Light cannot go around an object and is therfore blocked by objects creating an absence of light that is proportional to the object that is blocking the light.
The size of the object casting the shadow..? Thin object = thin shadow Fat object = fat shadow
The width of the light source is the main cause of the shadow edge becoming more blurred as the mask approaches the light source. But light refraction around the edge of the mask may also be a minor component.
To make shadows sharper, you can increase the light source’s intensity, focus the light on a smaller area, or decrease the distance between the object and the surface where the shadow is cast. Using a direct, strong light source positioned closer to the object will also help create sharper shadows.
The shadow will become smaller
If you put your object further backwards your shadow will become bigger but if you put your object more forwards your shadow will become smaller!
if an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger,if it goes further away,the shadow gets smaller
I understand that the closer the object to the light source the sharper the shadow and visa versa or depending on the intensity of the light source the more intense the light the sharper the shadow. However I have recently had a shadow problem that has made me question this. I have tried 3 different materials of almost equal dimensions and found that out of the 3 materials (cardboard, wood, aluminum) I found that aluminum produces a significantly sharper shadow. I can not explain this.......
Move the light source farther away from the object.
The closer you are to the light the smaller the source of light gets, but at the same time the closer you are to the light the stronger the light. the further you are to the light the weaker the light.
The size of shadow an object casts, is directly related to the position of a light source. the higher up a light source is in relation to the object, the shorter the shadow will be. Shadows cast by objects lit by the sun in the morning or evening are long, because the sun is low in the sky. At mid-day, the shadow is shorter because the sun is higher. Try it yourself with a torch - and see !
A Shadow is the absence of light next to an area of light. The absence of light is caused by an object that is in the direct path of light so that light cannot reach the area that the shadow is in. Light cannot go around an object and is therfore blocked by objects creating an absence of light that is proportional to the object that is blocking the light.
The further the light source is from the object, the smaller the shadow formed and vice versa.
The shadow is formed exactly below the object. So it cannot be seen.
The shadow will fall on the opposite side that the light hit the object. Assuming that the object is a solid object that you cannot see through, there would be no light on the other side, hence causing the shadow.
