One day Ramesh tried to notice the shadow of a pole while coming home ...
Explanation:
To determine the direction of the shadow of a pole at a specific time, we need to consider the position of the sun in the sky.
The Position of the Sun at Noon:
- The sun is at its highest point in the sky at noon.
- At this time, the sun is directly overhead and casts no shadow.
- This is because the angle of the sun's rays is perpendicular to the ground, resulting in no shadow formation.
Therefore, if Ramesh tried to notice the shadow of a pole at 12:00 noon, he would not find any shadow.
Reasoning:
- The question states that Ramesh tried to notice the shadow while coming home at 12:00 noon.
- Since the sun is directly overhead at this time, there would be no shadow cast by the pole in any direction.
- Shadows are formed when an object blocks the path of light from a light source, but at noon, the sun is positioned in such a way that its rays fall directly on objects without obstruction.
Conclusion:
Based on the position of the sun at 12:00 noon, Ramesh would not find any shadow of the pole in any direction. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - No shadow formed.
