Question

Can a completely transparent object cast a shadow?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Transparent objects are those which can pass light through them completely.
  2. To form a shadow, the object should obstruct the light rays (which means it should be opaque).
  3. So, transparent objects don't cast a shadow.

Hence, a completely transparent object cannot cast a shadow.
