Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the light spreading around the tree?
Light travels in straight lines and therefore some will hit the tree. Where this happens a shadow (absence of light) is created behind the tree.
What is the tree that has no shadow?
Well, no trees have a shadow if it is dark, or if they are shaded by a bigger tree. But a family tree may have no shadow.
How tall isa tree if woman is 5ft and her shadow is 4ft and near by tree shadow is 10ft?
Let the height of the tree be x: x/10 = 5/4 x = 50/4 The tree is 12.5 feet
A woman stands next to a tree ans she is 5 feet tall her shadow is 3feet the trees shadow is 7.5 feet long how tall is the tree?
4.5 ft
How do you solve a 10' tree casts a 12' shadow how far is the top of the tree from tip of shadow?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 102+122 = 244 and the square root of this is about 15.62049935' which is the distance.
Why do a shadow form behind the a tree?
We can only see something if light is reflected off it. Our eyes see shadows because there is less light reflected from the shadow than the surrounding area.

Why a shadow forms behind a tree?
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.

Why does a shadow form behind an opaque 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?
Why does a shadow form behind the dog when a light shines on it?
The dog stops the light.
