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 materials form light shadows?
Any material that is not 100% transparent will produce a shadow in light. Even glass will produce some amount of a shadow.The more opaque a material is, the darker the shadow.The more transparent a material is, the lighter the shadow.
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 do opaque objects make clearer shadows?
they form clearer objects
What is a replicator?
one that copies a 3D form of a object.
If an object can be thrown up to 600feet what is the estimated speed?
well in order to calculate the speed of the object at the start point you need to know: # mass/weight of the object # the air resistance # the angle # the form of the object
Why does a shadow not form behind an opaque object?
because light passes through, and you cant have a shadow with light on now can you?
What property of light causes light to form a shadow on an opaque object?
Light forms a shadow on an opaque object because it travels in straight lines. When light is blocked by an opaque object, it cannot reach the surface behind the object, creating a shadow. This property is known as the rectilinear propagation of light.
Where does a shadow form?
A shadow forms when an object blocks light from a light source, causing the area behind the object to be less illuminated. The shadow is created where the light cannot reach due to the obstruction of the object.
Write the conditions nessesary for a shadow to form?
A source of light and an opaque object.
Why do opaque objects form shadow?
Opaque objects block light, so when light hits them, they cast a shadow on the surface behind them. This occurs because light cannot pass through the opaque object, creating a region of darkness where light is prevented from reaching. The size and darkness of the shadow depend on the intensity and angle of the light source.
How is shadow form?
From the absence of light. Shadow is form from an opaque or translucent object blocking a light source (since light travels in a straight line).
How is shadow?
From the absence of light. Shadow is form from an opaque or translucent object blocking a light source (since light travels in a straight line).
What two things are needed for a shadow to form?
A source of light and an object that blocks the light are needed for a shadow to form. The area behind the object where the light is blocked creates the shadow.
Why does a shadow form when it shines the light on the Block?
A shadow forms when an object blocks light from a source, preventing the light from reaching the surface behind the object. This occurs because light travels in a straight line and cannot pass through opaque objects. The area where light cannot reach due to obstruction creates a shadow.
Why does a shadow form behind the puppet when the light shines on it?
der, cause u got poo on it
Can fire have a shadow?
Yes, fire can have a shadow. The shadow is created when the light from the fire is blocked by an object, causing a darker area to form behind it.
Does a transluscent object form a shadow?
Yes, a translucent object can still cast a shadow because it allows some light to pass through it, while also blocking some light. The shadow may be less defined or lighter than that from an opaque object, depending on the transparency of the material.
