in this case the length of the table can be measured in one go

the ground acts as a screen for it. However, when the football

on the ground.
23. Some of the reason can be
(i) The screen is away from the ball.
(ii) The beam of light from the torch is falling parallel to the
screen on the ball.
(iii) The torch is kept away from the ball.

The piece of muslin cloth will form a lighter shadow as it allow
light to pass through it partially.
