How do light forms
1. Light is electromagnetic radiation that we can see.
Light beams are made of tiny 'packets' called
photons. They travel form the source in a line
through space until they are obstructed by matter.
What is the speed of light
 The speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly
299,792,458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per
second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI
units results from the fact that the meter is now
defined in terms of the speed of light. All forms of
electromagnetic radiation move at exactly this same
speed in vacuum.

In this picture they are showing the light travels in straight line
What is reflection
 Reflection of light is either secular (mirror-like)
or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending
on the nature of the interface. Furthermore, if the interface is
between a dielectric and a conductor, the phase of the reflected
wave is retained, otherwise if the interface is between two
dielectrics, the phase may be retained or inverted, depending on
the light
Reflection
What is shadow
 A shadow is an area where direct light from a light source cannot
reach due to obstruction by an object. It occupies all of
the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it. The cross
section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or
reverse projection of the object blocking the light. The sun causes
many objects to have shadows and at certain times of the day, when the
sun is at certain heights, the lengths of shadows change
How do shadow forms
 Shadows are formed when an object passes in front of a
light. As the light rays now bounce off this object the
ground/objects behind the first no longer receives the rays
and appears darker then the surrounding area (it will never
be completely black do to bounce/ambient light)
