because light passes through, and you cant have a shadow with light on now can you?
Light forms a shadow on an opaque object because it travels in straight lines. When light is blocked by an opaque object, it cannot reach the surface behind the object, creating a shadow. This property is known as the rectilinear propagation of light.
A shadow forms when an object blocks light from a light source, causing the area behind the object to be less illuminated. The shadow is created where the light cannot reach due to the obstruction of the object.
A source of light and an opaque object.
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.
From the absence of light. Shadow is form from an opaque or translucent object blocking a light source (since light travels in a straight line).

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.

der, cause u got poo on it
Yes, fire can have a shadow. The shadow is created when the light from the fire is blocked by an object, causing a darker area to form behind it.
Yes, a translucent object can still cast a shadow because it allows some light to pass through it, while also blocking some light. The shadow may be less defined or lighter than that from an opaque object, depending on the transparency of the material.
shadow is a black areashadow is formed when a opaque object is come in the path of lightWhen light passes through opaque object, some of it would be blocked and form a shaedow.The shadow is formed according to the shape of the object as light moves in straight line.When light source is blocked by an opaque /translucent object a black spot is formed on the opposite side of the light source ...that black spot is called shadow.CHARACTERISTICS OF SHADOWS?black in colour .?outline of structure of the object.?size depends upon the light source and the object.?always forms on the opposite side of the light source .
