Question

A portrait shows a person's face entirely in silhouette, shadowing the subject's features completely.
Which direction was the light most likely coming from?
O from the front
O at a 45-degree angle
O from behind
O at a 90-degree angle

Answer 1

Answer:

From behind

Explanation:

This is because, a silhouette can only be formed by an object if the light is coming from behind the object. For example, if a shadow of an object is to be formed, the light shone on the object must be coming from behind the object.

Similarly, for a complete silhouette of the person's face, the light must be coming from behind the person's face for it to form a shadow and then a silhouette.

So the light must come from behind.
