How you explain the closer the light source to the object the larger the shadow?

By projecting imaginary lines from the light source to the object, you can explain this geometrically. The closer the light source, the wider the angle formed between the lines, and the wider the angle, the longer the line opposite will be.

What happen to the shadow if an object is closer to the source of light?
When object is closer to source of light ,the shadow formed of the object is shorter and darker.
What happens when you move the torch closer to an object?
the shadow becomes bigger
How do you make a shadow bigger or smaller?
if an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger,if it goes further away,the shadow gets smaller
Does a shadow stay the same if the object is closer to the light source?
No, it gets bigger as it gets closer because not as much light can get around it.
What occurs when one object passes through the shadow of another?
If you move the light source closer to the abject, the object will get bigger. =^w^= ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The size of the object does not change. What kind of a retard are you.
Why do birds flying high not cast a shadow explain shortly?
when an object is closer to the light source,the larger and fuzzier is the shadow.also if the object is moved away from the screen,the shadow is fuzzier.therefore the bird which is close to sun and away from the ground casts a fuzzier shadow in the atmosphere which cannot be seen
When you place something close to a light source will it make a big shadow or a small shadow?
The closer an object is to a source of light the larger the shadow it will cast.
How could you change the size of your shadow?
You can either move closer to the light source or move the light source closer to you. The size of your shadow just depends upon how much of the light you are obscuring so the more you block out, the bigger your shadow.
When an object is moved closer to the light source will the shadow become bigger or smaller?
There are many things that could happen when an object is moved nearer to a light or further away. It could change temperatures.
What happen to the shadow if an object is closer to the source of light?
When object is closer to source of light ,the shadow formed of the object is shorter and darker.
Describe three factors that determine the size of a shadow and explain how each one cam make the shadow larger or smaller?
The height of the object casting the shadow, the height of the sun in the sky, what angle you are at when looking at the shadow.
The closer the light source the shadow is what?
The closer the light source the larger is the shadow. You can understand this effect using the paraxial aproximation of light theory. If you draw lines from the light source to the edges of an object, there is an angle (call it alpha) between the these lines and the orthonormal vector to the object. The shorter the distance between the light and the object, the higher is alpha (because the height of the object is always the same): tan(alpha) = (height of the object)/(distance between light and object) Of course the relationship between the height of the shadow and the angle is the same: tan(alpha) = (height of the shadow)/(distance to the wall in which the shadow is proyected) So, the higher the angle alpha (and closer the distance between light and object), the heigher is the shadow.
What happens when you move the torch closer to an object?
the shadow becomes bigger
Is your shadow bigger or smaller when your closer to the sun?
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.
How can you make a shadow bigger?
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!
When a light is close to n object the shadow formed is big because?
The angle of the light passed the edge of the object is greater, creating a larger shadow.
How do you make a shadow bigger or smaller?
if an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger,if it goes further away,the shadow gets smaller
