1. This investigation studied how the distance between an object and the light source affects the size of the object's shadow. As the distance increased from 10 cm to 40 cm, the size of the shadow decreased from 45 cm to 5 cm.
2. The aim was to determine the relationship between the distance of the ball from the light source and the size of the shadow. The manipulated variable was the distance of the ball from the light source, while the responding variable was the size of the shadow.
3. Based on the results, as the distance between the object and light source increases, the size of the shadow decreases.

Chapter 6 year 5 (KBSR) Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object or surface
Light from a torch
Sunlight rays shine between
the tree trunk in the forest Light from lamp Shadows are formed when light is blocked by opaque object or translucent objects.
Translucent Opaque Object that allows Object that does some light to pass not allow any light through it to pass through it
Type of object
Transparent Object that allows all light to pass through it. Factors affecting the size of shadows
Cast ❖When the distance shadow between the object and Shadow the light source increases, cone Core the size of the shadow shadow decreases. ❖When the distance between the object and Light source the light source decreases, Object the size of the shadow increases. Screen The position of the Factors affecting the light source shape of shadows
The orientation of the object
Reflection of light When light falls on an object, it bounces off the surface of the object
Angle of Angle of We can see an
incident reflection object because the object reflects light into our eyes
Reflection of an image in a mirror
An object with hard, smooth and shiny surface can
reflect light better than an object with uneven, soft and rough surface. Ray diagram Refraction of light When light travels from a medium to another medium.
