can someone have 2 shadows?

Question

i was standing outside, kind of a sunny day, just the sun was there no other light.

Answer 1

yes if there are two lights shinning on them from diffrent angles

Answer 2

Of course, 2 light sources that aren't focused on the same object will cause it to have 2 shadows. Think of a ball, and imagine a light pointed at its front, and another light positioned 45 degrees left still focused on the ball. on the other side (opposite the two lights) you would see 2 shadows. The would not be like the hard shadows you would get from a single light source, these would be called soft shadows, with the 2 lights interfering with the others shadow, you would however have a hard shadow at the point where the lights couldn't interfere with one another.

Answer 3

YES. Objects placed in front of a light (a lightsource; i.e the sun, a lamp, a torch etc) will create a shadow, where this an absence of light behind the object. So you can have as many shadows as there are light sources.

Answer 4

Sure: if there is more than one source of light in a space.

Imagine a person sitting in a chair with one floor-standing reading lamp on each side of the chair.

If both lamps are tilted toward the reader, then he'd cast a shadow to both sides.

Answer 5

You can have as many shadows as you have light sources surrounding you.

If you are lit from the front and right side, you will have a shadow behind you and to your left, hence two shadows.

If there are three light sources, three shadows, etc.

Answer 6

Outdoors, the sun can act as multiple lights because it can be reflected off water (swimming pool) or mirror surfaces (plate glass window) and create an unwanted lighting effect.

Answer 7

yes. if its is multiple light sources, a person can have multiple shadows.

Answer 8

yes, if there are two differently placed light sources
