Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
It is known that light travels in a straight line, and it bends around the corners of the small object. This phenomenon of bending is known as diffraction. When an opaque object comes in the path of light, the light casts a shadow through the process of diffraction. This is also the reason why the shadow appears black in colour.
