The closer the light source is to the friend, the bigger the shadow will be. The further the projector is from the wall where you are projecting, the bigger the shadow will be.

How is the shape and size of shadow affected if colored light is used?

No change will occur because shadow is a dark outline of an object, irrespective of the colour of the object or the colour of the light.


What did you notice about the shape of the shadow compare to the shape of the object?

The shape does not change, only the length, depending on where the light comes from. Such as on a sundial, and the shadow gets longer or shorter over hours.


Why does the length and position of my shadow change as i walk towards a lamp post and when we walk away from the lamp post?

The lower the sun in the sky, the longer the shadow. A shadow is always cast in the opposite direction of incident sunlight. When the sun is directly overhead (at noon) the shadow is shortest.


How do shadows change and what makes them change?

I'm pretty sure that... Shadows change when the angle of light shining on the object changes. Eg. A person standing in the sun just as it rises will have a longer shadow facing west because of the angle that the sun is at. Whereas the same person standing in the same spot at midday will have a shorter Shadow so the shadow will make the person look shorter. If the light (sun) is directly on top of the person, they mah have no shaddow.


Why does the shadow change during the day?

Shadows are created when something comes between the Sun and the surface upon which the shadow is cast. So if you draw a straight line from the Sun's position in the sky and on through the object that's casting the shadow, you will find that the shadow occurs where the straight line intersects that surface. Let's call that straight line the line of shadow (LOS). And it goes Sun to object, to surface where the shadow lies. But wait, the shadow is moving, very very slowly but it is moving. Remember the LOS determines where the shadow lies upon the surface. So something is changing with the LOS. And that something is the Sun's position in the sky. The Sun rises higher in the sky before noon and sags lower in the sky after noon (approximately). As it rises and lowers, the angle at which the LOS intersects the surface and casts that shadow changes to made the shadow shorter as the Sun lifts and longer as the Sun sets. Bottom line: shadows caused by the Sun change during the day because the position of the Sun in the sky changes from low to high, back to low during the day. And that changes the LOS angle onto the shadowed surface.
