What causes a shadow to form?

An object (Materials) that does not allows anylight to pass through will form a shaddow:Eg.- Opaque ( Can't let any light to pass through)- Translucent (Allows a little bit of light to pass through)If you want to make sure Im correct do this experiment:Instruments:- A Cloth ( Opaque)- A torch- A Tracing paper ( Translucent)- A screenPlaces to do:- A dark roomHow to do? :- Use your torch and shone on the cloth facing on the screen, what will you see?- Use your torch and shone on the tracing paper on the screen, what will you see?You will see an unclear shadow and a clear shdow on the screen! You may also add one more item a Transparent object! You will see I'm quite correct...Shadows are formed by light, because if light shines onto an object, and the object blocks the light, the light will go sideways of the object, and therefore, a shadow is formed.Light can only travel in straight lines. If light is coming from one main source, then an object that does not allow light to pass through it, will have an absence of light behind it, i.e.a shadow.
