Differences Between Image and Shadow

The video tutorial explains the differences between images and shadows. Images are formed by the reflection of light rays and have the color of the object, while shadows are formed by the obstruction of light by an opaque object and are always black. Images provide details and outlines of objects and undergo lateral inversion, whereas shadows only provide the outline and do not undergo lateral inversion.

How is an image formed?

• By the obstruction of light by an opaque object

• By the absorption of light rays

• By the reflection of light rays by an object

• By the refraction of light rays

What is a characteristic of an image?

• It has the color of the object

• It gives only the outline of the object

• It is always black

• It does not undergo lateral inversion
