What else can I help you with?
Do all materials form shadows?
No, transparent materials such as glass do not form shadows as light passes through them. Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object, causing a contrast between areas of illumination and darkness.
Why do shadows form when light passes through transparent objects?
Shadows form when light passing through transparent objects is partially absorbed or blocked, causing a contrast between areas that receive light and areas that do not. The transparent object allows some light to pass through, while the shadow is formed where the light is obstructed or absorbed.
Can air create shadows?
No, air cannot create shadows because shadows are formed when an object blocks light. Air is transparent and does not block light, so it cannot create shadows.
What name is used for materials which light can easily pass through such as glass?
a transparent object is one that lets light pass through with no shadows formed eg. clear window , transparent glass a translucent object lets only some light go through (not all)and forms a shadow that is very light eg. bathroom window
How are shadows formed give two reasons?
Shadows are formed when an object blocks the path of light rays, creating an area of darkness behind it. Two reasons shadows are formed are: (1) when light rays hit an opaque object and are unable to pass through it, and (2) when light rays are absorbed or reflected by an object, creating a shadow on the surface behind it.

What is the difference between transparent translucent and opaque?
a transparent object is one that lets light pass through with no shadows formed eg. clear window , transparent glassa translucent object lets only some light go through (not all)and forms a shadow that is very light eg. bathroom windowan opaque object lets no light pass through and forms a shadow eg. table, chair,etc

What is formed when light cannot pass through an object?
When light cannot pass through an object, a shadow is formed. Shadows are created when an object blocks the path of light, causing the area behind the object to appear darker.
Shadows are formed because light travels in?
Shadows are formed because when light hits an object, it does not pass through it. Light going around the edge of the object fills in the light void a bit, but it does not make up for the missing light.
What are shadows for?
shadows are actually a black shade of an object. you might don't understand it but let me say it much more clearly. shadows are formed by the light hitting the object and the object then blocks the light so when the light can't get through it forms a shadow.
How are two shadows are formed?
shadows are formed when light is obstructed by an opaque body. Shadows resemble shape but not necessarily the size of the object
If you can see through an object it is an?
transparent object
What do you call an object that lets light travel through it?
An object that allows light to pass through it is called a transparent object.
