Shadows are formed because when light hits an object, it does not pass through it. Light going around the edge of the object fills in the light void a bit, but it does not make up for the missing light.
The image formed on the screen of the pinhole camera is inverted because the aperture, which is a small hole, bends the light that enters the camera. This basically shows that light travels in straight line.
Shadows are formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light
Changes in shadow tell us where the source of light is. If you are outside, you only have one shadow because the sun is casting it. But if you have multiple shadows, then there are multiple sources of light to cast the shadows.
No, a shadow is a concept, like cold, which is the absence of another thing (light for a 'normal' shadows or energy for shadows in general, heat for cold). As such, shadows are not made, but exist in areas absent of energy.
They are light travels in a straight line and light cannot pass through opaque objects./ some light cannot pass through translucent objects.
Wait, it is not why. It's how. Shadows are formed because light travels in a straight line. Try to understand it yourself. second answer: when something come in the way of light it, light is not able to travel anymore. and the areas where is no light, it is dark and we call this dark area as shadow
shadows are formed because the light particles (or photons as they are known scientifically) can't pass through a material, this causes them to be shown as a dark area behind the object
it is because a shadow is a blocking of a light source and at night there are not many light sources activated. But there are shadows from Moonlight sometimes. And sometimes in your household.
shadows are formed when light is obstructed by an opaque body. Shadows resemble shape but not necessarily the size of the object
Air
Yes shadows prove it because if light travelled in bent lines there would be no shadow.

You will get two shadows if there are two light sources.
Sharp shadows are a way of telling how fast light travels.
Because light travels in straight lines. (unless some form of meta-material is present in its path).
It tells us that light only travels in straight lines and cant travel through most objects.
Light ray theory and shadows. Basically the light ray theory is the theory that light always travels in straight lines, and it is linked into shadows as when an object blocks the light rays it cannot bend round the object therefore making a shadow.
