The size of shadow an object casts, is directly related to the position of a light source. the higher up a light source is in relation to the object, the shorter the shadow will be. Shadows cast by objects lit by the sun in the morning or evening are long, because the sun is low in the sky. At mid-day, the shadow is shorter because the sun is higher.
Try it yourself with a torch - and see !
What else can I help you with?
Why don't upright objects cast a shadow when the sun is at its zenith?
The shadow is formed exactly below the object. So it cannot be seen.
When a light is close to n object the shadow formed is big because?
The angle of the light passed the edge of the object is greater, creating a larger shadow.
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.....
What are the conditions necessary for shadow formation?
Shadows are formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light
ShadoW formed by an extended source?
A shadow formed by an extended source appears fuzzy with indistinct edges due to partial blocking of light from multiple directions. The shadow's edges may exhibit a gradient of light intensity instead of a sharp boundary seen in shadows from point sources.
How is a shadow formed?
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an object.
What type of shadow are formed by transparent translucent opaque?
Transparent materials do not form shadows. Translucent materials form fuzzy shadows. Opaque materials form well-defined shadows.
When a shadow is formed does the object have to be opaque?
when a shadow is formed there should be an opaque object the picture can be formed on the screen.
What is the definition of shadow angle?
the angle at which a shadow is formed
What are necessary conditions for the shadow to be formed?
The shadow is formed when an object blocks light. Thus, the necessary conditions for a shadow to be formed are the presence of a source of light, an opaque object to block the light, and a surface on which the shadow is cast. The relative positioning of these elements affects the size, shape, and visibility of the shadow.
A picture formed by light?
shadow
When is a smaller shadow formed?
at noon the shadow is point sized {smaller} and in morning and evening the shadow is the longest.
What causes the fuzzy edges of shadows?
The fuzzy edges of shadows are caused by the blocking of light from a light source by an object that is not perfectly opaque. This results in a partial shadow where some light is able to pass around the edges of the object, creating a blurred or fuzzy boundary.
Why is an objects shadow fuzzy when there is a big light source?
An object's shadow appears fuzzy when illuminated by a large light source because the light rays are not parallel; instead, they spread out over a larger area. This creates a gradient effect at the edges of the shadow, leading to a softer transition between light and dark. The larger the light source, the more pronounced this effect becomes, resulting in a less defined outline around the shadow.
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.
What type of shadow would be formed by the great pyramid of Giza?
The shadow formed would be tetrahedrons with an nostalgic way of cooperating with the society at that time.
