What exactly a shadow?

A shadow is like shade just in a movement if at will. So it blocks the sun at a certain place depending on the angle.


Difference between shadow and reflection?

A shadow is the absence of light, a reflection is just that, the reflection of light. So a shadow comes from blocking a light source, a reflection comes from the bouncing of light of one source and on to another


What is a shadow and what is it formed of?

In short, nothing. A shadow is a dark area within a brighter area. It doesn´t have any substance as it is just a place where light is not falling as its being blocked by somthing. A shadow can be thought of as an opposite to a rainbow which is made by light shining on a specific place. Both have no substance but seem to be solid and can appear to move.

How does a pergola create shade?

The boards or slats are spaced so the the shadow of one hits part or all of the next board so depending on how they are spaced, you get total or partial shade but can still see through them. Some are designed just to establish a space not to really shade.


What does it mean when your shadow doesn't appear?

A shadow always appears. If you are solid, you create a shadow. If the light source is directly overhead, your shadow may be cast behind you. Just turn your head, and I assure you, your shadow will be there.


What is shadow's purpose?

Shadows do not have a purpose, they are just the absence of light created when an object blocks a light source.


Why can't you step on your shadow's head?

you can just make the light source above you.


How will you sketch a sphere?

Start by drawing a circle. A sphere is just a three dimensional circle, so once you have your outline you will need to determine the direction your light is coming from. Having established your light, remember the area furthest away from the light will be in deepest shadow, so shade in that edge. As you move toward the light the shading will need to get lighter. There should be a small area (round in shape) where the high-light is and this should be white or untouched. Finally using the light source, put in a cast shadow to make your sphere look like it is sitting on a surface.


Is shadow an example of matter?

No, a shadow is just what happens when light from the Sun or another light source is blocked when it hits you. Because there is less light where it would be if you didn't block it, the ground and whatever doesn't have as much light appears darker. These phenomenons do not take up any space. Hope this helps!


How according to the position of light source does the size of shadow differ?

It's hard to explain this in words but here goes.There are two ways a shadow changes size based on the position of the light source.If the light is just above and in front of the object the shadow is long, but as the light moves above the object the shadow gets shorter and shorter and shorter until when the light is directly above the object there is little to no shadow at all.If the light is directly in front of an object, like a person, as the light gets closer the light rays can only get past the object at a wider and wider angle (out to the sides) so the area with no light (the shadow) becomes wider and wider.


Does purple or blue have a higher intensity?

it just depends on the shade of blue and purple. if it is a dark purple and a light blue, then the light blue would have a higher intensity. if you look at any shade, the one that is brighter has the higher intensity of the two.
