Description

A shadow is a dark area where light from a light source is blocked by an object. It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or a reverse projection of the object blocking the light.

ছায়া হল একটি অন্ধকার স্থান যেখানে আলোর উত্স থেকে উৎপাদিত আলো একটি বস্তু দ্বারা অবরুদ্ধ হয় এবং এটি সামনে আলোসহ একটি বস্তুর পিছনে সমস্ত ত্রিমাত্রিক আয়তন দখল করে। ছায়ার আড়াআড়ি অংশ হল একটি দ্বি- মাত্রিক সিলুয়েট, বা আলোকে অবরুদ্ধ করে এমন বস্তুর বিপরীত অভিক্ষেপ।
