Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Shadows are formed when opaque bodies block the path of light. An opaque object doesn’t enable light through it. This leads to the formation of a dark space near the object far from the source of light. This space of darkness formed by an object obstructing light is called a shadow. A transparent object doesn’t cast a shadow, while a translucent object forms a dim shadow that’s not very clear. This is because transparent objects pass light through them and do not obstruct light.
The correct statement would be that a completely transparent object does not cast a shadow.
