IV SECTION-D
Case based question
An object which emits light, is called a source of light. For example, sun, torch, etc.
Non-luminous objects are the objects which do not emit light of their own. Such a body
becomes visible when light falls on it. For example, the moon, the planets, etc. An object
which comes to the path of the light is called an obstacle. All the opaque objects seem to
form a dark shadow of their own. We need a source of light, an opaque object in the way,
and screen to see a shadow. Screen is a surface on which the shadow is formed. It may be a
 butter paper or simply ground. Shadows give us some information about shapes of objects.
The colour of the opaque object does not affect the colour of the shadow.
10. Which of the following is not always necessary to observe a shadow?
a) Sun b) Screen c) Source of light d) Opaque object
11. Which of the following can never form a circular shadow?
a) A ball b) A flat disc c) A shoe box d) An ice cream cone
12. What are the conditions for the formation of shadow?
