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.
Sometimes, the shadow of the object (ball) may not be formed because of improper arrangement. It may be that the direction of the torchlight is not towards the screen. The shadow will be formed only if screen, torch and ball are in the same straight line (as shown in figure).
