if water is supposed to be transparent, why does it have a shadow?
In: 0
For one, it’s not perfectly transparent. Totally pure H20 might be, but for the most part there will be some particulate that will absorb light.
Otherwise, even tiny pure water drops can have shadows because of refraction and reflection. The light will bounce off the surface of the drop and be scattered through the middle of it, leaving a shadow on the other side.
