Which of these−a completely transparent object or a translucent object−will form a shadow? Will the shadow formed by an opaque object be darker or lighter than this shadow?

Solution

Among completely transparent and a translucent object only a translucent object will form a shadow. Shadow formed by an opaque object will be darker than a translucent object. This is because an opaque object will completely block the light, while translucent will allow some light to pass through it and not completely block out the light.
