Question

Study the above figure. In both the cases A and B, the shape of the shadow formed on the screen will be same.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

There will not be any difference in the shape of the shadow formed in both cases. A circular area of light is blocked by the metal bowl in each case. Hence, both the shadows will be in a circular shape. Also, the size of the shadow changes if the distance between the light source, the metal bowl and the screen is changed.
