In a room with a single light source on the ceiling, Zahara stands directly underneath the light, while Xiomara stands a few feet away. If Xiomara looks up at the light, will Zahara's presence affect what Xiomara sees? Provide a very short response.
Zahara's presence will affect Xiomara's view of the light because Zahara will block some of the light, casting a shadow in Xiomara's direction. This happens because light travels in straight lines and any opaque object, such as Zahara standing in between Xiomara and the light source, would obstruct the light's path resulting in a shadow.
