tell me in literary term about shadow.?

Question

my son is in elementry school. His teacher gave him a literacy work project asking him to tell some thing about ''Shadow".

Answer 1

A region of darkness caused by the presence of an opaque object interposed between such a region and a source of light. A shadow can be totally dark only in that part called the umbra, in which all parts of the source are screened off. With a point source, the entire shadow consists of an umbra, since there can be no region in which only part of the source is eclipsed. If the source has an appreciable extent, however, there exists a transition surrounding the umbra, called the penumbra, which is illuminated by only part of the source. Depending on what fraction of the source is exposed, the illumination in the penumbra varies from zero at the edge of the full shadow to the maximum where the entire source is exposed. The edge of the umbra is not perfectly sharp, even with an ideal point source, because of the wave character of light..
