Michael Clark Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Shadows are no different than a sidewalk or railroad tracks, when we are talking about the sun as a light source. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Railroad_Tracks.JPG The tracks are That same width and do not converge as they get further from you. In fact they never get further from you because it is a picture and it is in two dimensions, rendered on your computer screen. The same holds true with shadows as long as the light source is far enough away to render any angles negligible, like the sun.
Ray Mitcham Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) The argument isn't about that, Michael. It's about whether the shadows cast by the sun, appear to converge both towards and away from the sun. The statement made was "Shadows converge towards the source of light... the shadows in the BYP converge in the opposite direction..." which is what they should appear to do.
