The shadow of the object cannot be caught if the screen and the object are very far from each other. This is the same case, the shadow of the football cannot be seen on the ground when it is kicked high in the air. This happens because if we take the object away and away from the screen, the image becomes smaller and smaller and a time comes when it disappears from the screen.
27.
Yes, the shadow will be formed in all the cases but in all the cases, the darkness of the shadow will be different.
(i) Most of the light in case of transparent sheet will pass through the glass. So, the darkness of shadow will be very low.
(ii) Also most the light in case of muslin cloth will be reflected. So, the shadow will be darker than the transparent sheet.
(iii) While in case of plywood, all the light would be stopped completely by the plywood. So, the darkness strength will be highest in this case.
