The size of a shadow depends on the distance between the object blocking the light and the surface on which the shadow is cast, as well as the angle of the light source hitting the object. The closer the object is to the surface and the larger the angle of the light source, the larger the shadow will be.

What is the relationship between the size of the shadow and the distance of the object from the light source?

Can a reflection be a shadow?

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.


Is a reflection the same as a shadow?

No, a reflection is the bouncing back of light rays off a surface, whereas a shadow is formed when light is blocked by an object. Reflections reproduce an image in the opposite direction, while a shadow is a silhouette of the object that is blocking the light.
