What happens to a shadow when you move the object toward the light source?

When you move an object closer to the light source, the shadow it casts becomes smaller and more sharply defined. This is because the light source rays are more concentrated on the object, resulting in a more defined shadow with less diffused edges.


Does the shadow became smaller when you move the light away from the object?

Yes, when you move the light source away from the object, the shadow it casts will become larger and less defined. This is because the light rays are less focused and spread out over a larger area, resulting in a bigger shadow.


When object is moved closer to screen what happens to the shadow?

Well, darling, when you move an object closer to the screen, the shadow it casts will appear larger and more defined. This happens because the object is blocking more light from reaching the screen, creating a more prominent shadow. So, in simple terms, bring that object closer and watch that shadow grow!


Why does a shadow form behind an object when light shines on it?

Because a shadow forms behind an object when a light source shines on it. This happens because the object is solid and light can not travel through the solid object. The light that travels around the object reflects back up and the area that is not reflecting looks darker. That's why! Did this help you?


What is a example solid object with no shadow?

Trick question or a question asked by someone who doesn't truly understand the issue. One can say that colorless polished glass or clear plastic has no shadow. Probably the answer your teacher is seeking. But this is not true. Even glass is not perfectly transparent and casts a small shadow. Perhaps a shadow barely perceptible to the human eye, but it is there. It is possible to have a luminous solid object emit the exact amount of light to cancel its shadow, but this isn't really having no shadow, is it? Your teacher will not like this answer. If we REALLY want to confuse them, we can speak of metamaterials.

Why does the triangle tower have no shadow?

Everything has a shadow. I think maybe because the shadow is cast upon it's self. Every object that stands in light casts a shadow, unless that object is light (produces light). A light bulb illuminated on a sunny day,has no shadow of the illumined parts. A flashlight in the sun light is a waste, a flame from a lighter on a sunny day is almost invisible. If an object casts no shadow, then, that object is light. I like to describe it as, (concerning people) a humble person casts no shadow.


Why are shadows made bigger when moving only the torchlight?

It is due to the angle and position of the torchlight relative to the object casting the shadow. The nearer the torchlight is to the object, the bigger the shadow that the object casts.

What determines the shadow of a groundhog or any object on the ground?

The shadow of a groundhog or any object on the ground is determined by the position of the object in relation to a light source, such as the sun. The angle and intensity of the light hitting the object affects the size and shape of the shadow it casts.


Is translucent object casts a shadow?

Yes, translucent objects can cast a shadow. When light passes through a translucent object, it can still create a shadow behind the object depending on the intensity and direction of the light source.
