What else can I help you with?
Find the length of the shadow of a six foot man standing fifteen feet from a twenty foot pole?
without the angle of light source this cannot be determined
What happens when light is reflected?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
In geometry what is a converse?
when you switch the "if" n "then" ex : if you're light, then you're skinny converse : if you're skinny, then you're light
What is a real-life example of the waves?
a real life example of waves is a sound wave, sound can travel through the air, but it does need a medium. another example is light waves such as the sun the sun gives us light so it is called light waves.
Where was the light come from that causes the shadow of the umbra and penumbra?
The shadow is caused by the light of the sun.
Why are shadows cast on the ground?
A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.
Why the shadow of flying bird is not seen on the ground even though it is opaque?
The shadow of a flying bird is not seen on the ground because the bird is not touching the ground to cast a shadow. Shadows are formed when an object is blocking light from a source, but since the bird is not grounded, its shadow is not projected onto the surface below. Additionally, the bird's fast movement may also affect the visibility and clarity of a shadow.
Where does the light come from that causes the shadow of the umbra and penumbra?
The sun
What is created the instant a shape is placed onto a ground?
A shadow is created the instant a shape is placed onto a ground, as the shape blocks the light from reaching the ground below it.
What causes the shape of a shadow to change?
when you change the object that creates the shadow by blocking the light, its' shadow will change. or there is another light source shining from a different direction on the object will affect the shadow too.
Where would be your shadow if you are sorrounded with light?
Your shadow would be directly below you if you are surrounded by light from all directions. This is because light would be hitting you from all angles, leaving no space for a shadow to form on the ground.
How according to the position of light source does the size of shadow differ?
It's hard to explain this in words but here goes.There are two ways a shadow changes size based on the position of the light source.If the light is just above and in front of the object the shadow is long, but as the light moves above the object the shadow gets shorter and shorter and shorter until when the light is directly above the object there is little to no shadow at all.If the light is directly in front of an object, like a person, as the light gets closer the light rays can only get past the object at a wider and wider angle (out to the sides) so the area with no light (the shadow) becomes wider and wider.
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.
Why is there no shadow of the tree on the ground at 8pm?
as there is no sunlight at 8pm,and shadow is formed when light can not pass through that object casting shadow and if u throw light on tree it will not cast shadow on the ground as it only can happen before sunset.....
What is penetration of light into a region of geometrical shadow called?
The penetration of light into a region of geometrical shadow is called "penumbra." This occurs when only partial obstruction of light causes a partial shadow to be cast.
What do you need to see a shadow?
To see a shadow, you need a source of light, an object to cast the shadow, and a surface for the shadow to be projected onto. When the light is blocked by the object, a shadow is created on the surface opposite the light source.
