can form some kind of shadow.
Anything that reflects, absorbs, or scatters light can form some kind of shadow.
Surfaces that are smooth and reflective, such as mirrors or water surfaces, can form clear images of objects. Additionally, curved surfaces like lenses or spherical mirrors can also create focused images of objects.
The name given to objects that do not cast a shadow in the presence of light is called translucent. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them, making them appear to have no shadow.
From the sun
Opaque objects block light, so when light hits them, they cast a shadow on the surface behind them. This occurs because light cannot pass through the opaque object, creating a region of darkness where light is prevented from reaching. The size and darkness of the shadow depend on the intensity and angle of the light source.
No, light and shadow are not similar. Light is electromagnetic radiation that illuminates objects and creates shadows when it is blocked by an object. Shadow is the area where light is blocked by an object, resulting in a darker area behind the object.
Any opaque object that blocks light can create a shadow. This includes things like furniture, people, trees, and buildings. The size and shape of the object as well as the angle of the light source will affect the size and shape of the shadow.
Any material that prevents light from passing through will form a shadow. Walking down a street on a sunny day, your body will cast a shadow. On a sunny day, even passing clouds can cast a shadow on a hillside. So the list would be considerable.
Objects like Sun, Moon and Stars don't have shadows. Basically all the space objects don't have shadow.
it is not a shadow
Ghosts are typically considered to be energy or spirits, so they do not have physical form or substance to cast a shadow. Traditional beliefs suggest that ghosts are manifestations of the spirit or soul of a deceased person, so they wouldn't interact with light in the same way as physical objects.
No, fire does not have a shadow because it emits light and does not block light like solid objects do.
