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.

How can light be blocked by other objects?

Light can be blocked by other objects when the material of the object absorbs or scatters the light waves. This absorption or scattering prevents the light waves from passing through the object, causing a shadow to be cast on the other side. The degree to which light is blocked depends on the opacity and thickness of the object.


What three things are needed to cast a shadow?

To cast a shadow, three things are needed: a source of light, an object to block the light, and a surface for the shadow to be projected onto.


What is the direction of a shadow?

A shadow is formed in the opposite direction of the light source. For example, when the light source is behind an object, the shadow is cast in front of the object.


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 :)


What Three things we need to have a shadow?

In order to have a shadow, you need a source of light, an object to block that light, and a surface on which the shadow is cast. When light is obstructed by an object, it creates a shadow on the surface opposite the light source.


Will a shiny object make a shadow when light shines on it?

Yes, a shiny object can still cast a shadow when light shines on it. The shadow may not be as distinct as with a non-shiny object, but it will still be present due to the object blocking the light.


How does light interact with objects to cast shadows?

When light hits an object, it can either be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. If it's absorbed, no shadow is cast. If it's transmitted, a faint shadow may appear. When light is reflected off an object, it creates a shadow behind it, as the light is blocked by the object.


Why is the shadow of an object formed at the opposite side of a light source?

The shadow of an object is formed on the opposite side of the light source because the light rays get blocked by the object, preventing them from reaching the surface where the shadow is formed. The shadow is cast in the direction where light cannot pass through the object.


Why do you cast a shadow?

Because no light can pass through something opaque


Is the shadow longer behind an object?

Yes, the shadow is longer behind an object, as it is cast by the object blocking the light source. The length of the shadow will depend on the angle and position of the light source in relation to the object.


How do we have shadows?

Shadows are created when an object blocks light from a source, such as the sun. The object prevents light from reaching the surface behind it, casting a shadow in the space where the light is blocked. The size and shape of the shadow depend on the position of the light source, the object, and the surface where the shadow is cast.


Does an opaque object cast a shadow?

yes it dose cast a shadow because you can not see through it.
