Solution
The correct option is B False
The source of light i.e. the sun is very large as compared to the opaque object which is aeroplane here. The umbra cone formed by the aeroplane is so small that it does not reach the ground, the only penumbra is formed which is very faint and hence, no visible shadow is formed on the ground.
