Question

Can you think of creating a shape that would give a circular shadow if held in one way and a rectangular shadow if held in another way?

Answer 1

Shadow:

1. When a person, a building, or any other item blocks the passage of light, shadows appear on the screen.
2. The shapes of objects can be deduced from shadows. Shadows can sometimes deceive us about the shape of an object.
   Yes, a cylindrical object produces a circular shadow when held in one direction and a rectangle shadow when held in another.
3. When kept in the direction of light, its circular ends will cast a circular shadow, whereas its curved sides will cast a rectangular shadow.
4. As a result, yes, when a cylindrical object is held in one direction, it casts a circular shadow in one direction and a rectangle shade in the other. Its circular ends will throw a circular shadow if held in the direction of light, whilst its curved sides would cast a rectangular shadow.
