Shadows are formed by ___________ materials.

Open in App

Solution

An opaque object when placed in the path of light, it blocks the light completely.
The dark area produced is called the shadow.
If we place any transparent object, it will transmit the light completely and no dark area will be formed.
Therefore, shadows are formed by opaque materials only.
