Detailed Solution

The above statement is false
When placed in the path of light, we have seen that an opaque object does not permit the light rays to pass through it. The dark area formed when light is blocked by any opaque object kept in its path is called a shadow. Shadows are formed due to the rectilinear propagation of light. A light source, an opaque object in the path of light and a screen are the three things necessary for the formation of a shadow. A shadow will not be formed if any of these things are absent. The color of a shadow does not depend on the object's colour. Shadows are always dark.
The correct statement would be an opaque object forms a very dark shadow.
