Cigarette smoke does, and strangely enough, it's a yellowish-brown color rather than a grey/black color.

The solid hilt of the lightsabre would cast a shadow, but the blade or beam would not, being only a construct of light or energy.

Because a shadow is formed only when the light is blocked by an opaque object.

Does water cast a shadow?

It depends on how you define shadow. If you define shadow as an area of lessened light caused by objects in the light path, then yes water can and does cast shadows, esp. waves, ripples, etc.


What can you tell from looking at a shadow?

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.


Why is there no shadow of the tree on the ground at 8pm?

as there is no sunlight at 8pm,and shadow is formed when light can not pass through that object casting shadow and if u throw light on tree it will not cast shadow on the ground as it only can happen before sunset.....


Why do some object cast a shadow and some don't?

Well first of all, lets just say you had a leaf and held it in the sun and it cast a shadow on the ground right below your feet. This happens because when the white light that the Sun gives off hits the leaf, the leaf absorbs every color in the white light.....except for green, that is the only color that is scattered and given off from the leaf. When the "green" light is reflected, it makes contact with the constant sunlight, and when two light waves collide it either becomes a bigger light source, or they cancel each other out and it creates shadow. Im 13 and hope this helped.


When will an object cast 2 shadows?

Yes, it can. A shadow is caused by the interruption of light from a single source. If you have more than one light source, you can have more than one shadow. Some shadows may not be as distinct (diffused light, shadow on brightly lit surfaces, etc.), and multiple shadows will practically always overlap to some extent.

The closer an object is to a source of light the larger the shadow it will cast.


Can a solid object cast a shadow?

Yes, as long as it is in the right position of a light, it will reflect a shadow. Even if it is glass it will show a light shade of a shadow :)


Why does the triangle tower have no shadow?

Everything has a shadow. I think maybe because the shadow is cast upon it's self. Every object that stands in light casts a shadow, unless that object is light (produces light). A light bulb illuminated on a sunny day,has no shadow of the illumined parts. A flashlight in the sun light is a waste, a flame from a lighter on a sunny day is almost invisible. If an object casts no shadow, then, that object is light. I like to describe it as, (concerning people) a humble person casts no shadow.


What three things are needed to cast a shadow?

Light, space, and an opaque object.


When light Shines on an object in which direction is shadow formed?

The shadow is cast on the opposite side of the object that the light source(s) is coming from. By the way im not too good with this kind of stuff.


How does light interact with objects to cast shadows?

---------------------------------------------- The object blocks the light from whatever is behind it, therefore leaving a shadow. ----------------------------------------------


Does a street sign cast a shadow because light is shining on it at an angle?

An object casts a shadow whenever it is illuminated. It really has nothing to do with the angle. Regardless of the angle, it will cast a shadow. The LENGTH of the shadow it casts, however, is dependent upon the angle at which the light strikes the object. A stop sign will cast a very narrow shadow when the sun is directly overhead, for example, but will cast a very long one at sunrise or sunset.


Why opaque objects do not cause a shadow?

Opaque objects do not let light to past through so it will not cause a shadow. Because light cannot get through an opaque object, it will cast a shadow on the side opposite of the light.


What exact speed can shadow run?

Shadows are not physical objects that can move or have speed, as they are the result of an object blocking light. The speed of a shadow depends on the speed of the object creating it and the distance between the object and the surface where the shadow is being cast.
