Why is the shadow of an object formed at the opposite side of a light source?
The shadow of an object is formed on the opposite side of the light source because the light rays get blocked by the object, preventing them from reaching the surface where the shadow is formed. The shadow is cast in the direction where light cannot pass through the object.
What two things are needed for a shadow to form?
A source of light and an object that blocks the light are needed for a shadow to form. The area behind the object where the light is blocked creates the shadow.
Why is shadow of an object formed in direction opposite to the light source?
The shadow of an object is formed in the direction opposite to the light source because the light rays that illuminate the object cannot pass through it, creating an area of darkness behind the object where these rays are blocked. This results in the shadow being cast in the direction away from the light source.
What is created when light is blocked?
darkness is produced in absence of light darkness is produced in absence of light
