The above statement is True.
A shadow is a dark region formed due to the blockage of light from a source like a bulb or sunlight by an opaque object. There are three requirements for the formation of shadows; firstly, there must be a source of light, an opaque object to block the path of light, and an opaque screen so that shadow can be formed upon it.
