How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
Do shadows come in different colours?
You can certainly have a shadow that is another color besides gray. Gray or black shadows are produced when bright white light shines onto something. If you use a different color of light, you can get a different shade to the shadow. Also, you can use different lenses to look at the light and shadow, and that will change the color.
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.
Why does a rounders post make a shadow?
opaque
Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?
Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.

What is a preumbra?
The sun shines light on both the moon and the Earth. When it shines light on one side of either one, they cast a shadow in space. During an eclipse, the shadow of either the moon or the earth gets cast on the other one. For example, during a solar eclipse the sun, moon, and earth have to be aligned Sun - Moon- Earth. The sun shines light on the moon and the moon's shadow gets cast on the Earth. The middle of the shadow where an observer can't see any light is the umbra. The sides of the shadow where you can see partial light is the preumbra.
Can shadows be formed on shiny surfaces?
They couldn't shine AND have a shadow on them at the same time, as when something shines it is reflecting light. A shadow is an area where little/no light is reaching due to something between it and the light source.
When does a shadow form?
