What is a shadow
A
shadow is a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays
of light and a surface. Shadow appears when an object comes between the
light and the surface, since the light cannot pass through opaque
things shadow falls. Shadow does not fall for transparent things. Due
to the stoppage of light shadow occurs and the size of shadow depends
on the angle at which the light falls on the body. So for a shadow to
form, we need a source of light and an opaque object. A natural source
of light is the sun. Everyone must have observed that the length of the
shadow changes through the day. Sometimes the shadow is very long and
sometimes it is very short.
