The area in shadow appears black because there is no, light falling on it., Q14.What are the essential conditions for formation of shadows?, Ans A shadow is formed when, 1. there is a source of light., 2. there is an opaque object in the way of light., 3. the light ray falling on the opaque object is blocked by it., Q15.Write two differences between a shadow and an image., Ans 1.) A shadow is formed due to the blocking of light by an opaque, object,while the image is formed due to reflection of light from an opaque, smooth and shiny surface, 2) A shadow is always dark while the image shows true colours of the, object., Q16.What is an eclipse? What are the two types of eclipse?, Ans The formation of shadows by celestial bodies on one another is called, an eclipse. There are two types of eclipse., 1.
