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.

किसी प्रकाशीय स्रोत के सामने एक अपारदर्शक वस्तु रखने पर प्रकाश की किरणें वस्तु को पार नहीं कर पाती हैं जिससे वस्तु के पीछे एक अन्धकार भाग दिखाई पड़ता है जिसे छाया कहते हैं।
