          What is shadow? Explain a simple process for shadow formation.

    Answer:

    When an opaque object is placed in the path of light then the light is obstructed by an object leading to the formation of a dark patch known as shadow of that object, which can be taken on a screen placed behind it.                   
    To form a shadow, there must be (i) a light source (ii) a screen (iii) an opaque object placed between the light source and the screen. For shadow formation, we can follow the given steps-
    Step 1: Take an opaque object.
    Step 2: Throw light on it from a light source.
    Step 3: Put a screen behind the object.
    In this way, a shadow of an object can be obtained on the screen.
