Guest tar Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There is a faint shadow with a simple test; shine a light at a candle! the faint shadow had a look of the flame, not just the wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try it in the real world? I demand a picture! I have no candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybar Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Cool stuff! Never really thought about open flames having shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateryfield Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I get some information form kolenya123 https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080304145206AA8nxFO Fire is energy. While it may be burning particles, that doesn't mean it has to give a shadow. There are no oxygen shadows. If there is any shadow, that would be from the smoke, which is made up of ash, which would block the sun (like how there is a decrease in temperature after a volcano erruption because of the dust and debris). Sounds reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's a junk theory. Refraction caused by the heat will cast a shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateryfield Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Haven't thought about Refraction will cast a shadow, maybe you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
