Shadows are made with opaque material.
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
Shadows are indeed made with opaque material. This is because opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, causing them to block the light and create a shadow on the opposite side. Transparent or translucent materials, on the other hand, allow some or all of the light to pass through them, resulting in less defined or no shadow formation. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes."Rate this question:

Shadows are made with transparent material.
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation
Shadows are not made with transparent material. Shadows are formed when an object blocks light, preventing it from reaching a certain area. Transparent materials allow light to pass through them, so they do not create shadows.Rate this question:

Shadows are short at midday or lunch time.
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
Shadows are shorter at midday or lunchtime because the sun is directly overhead during these times. When the sun is directly overhead, the angle at which the sunlight hits objects is more vertical, resulting in shorter shadows. As the sun moves lower in the sky during the morning and afternoon, the angle of the sunlight becomes more slanted, causing shadows to appear longer. Therefore, it is correct to say that shadows are short at midday or lunchtime.Rate this question:
