A student covered a torch with red cellophane sheet to obtain red light. Using the red light, she obtains a shadow of an opaque object. She repeats this activity with green and blue light. Will the colour of the light affect the shadow? Explain



Answer :

Answer: The color of the light will not affect the color of the shadow itself.

Explanation: Firstly, Shadows are formed because an opaque object blocks the path of the light, preventing it from reaching a particular area. Thus, the shadow will always appear as a darker region since it is defined by the absence of light rather than the color of the blocked light.
