What is a cast shadow?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The shadow that a form throws on a surface
A cast shadow is the dark shape produced when an object blocks light and projects that absence of light onto another surface, such as a floor, wall, or table. Its direction and length depend on the direction, height, and strength of the light source, so it may extend away from the object. Option A gives the correct definition. This is different from a form shadow, which remains on the object’s own surface on the side turned away from the light. Option B describes a lit area, while options C and D have no connection with the light-shadow relationship used to represent form.
