Question

Under what circumstances can a red shadow be formed?

Open in App
Solution

A red shadow can never be formed. A shadow is formed due to the absence of light rays. When an object blocks the path of light rays, a shadow of the object is formed behind the object in an area over which light rays are obstructed. So, there is no chance that the color of the shadow is red.
