''Shadow'' as a term is often used for any occlusion or blockage, not just those with respect to light. For example, a [[rain shadow]] is a dry area, which with respect to the prevailing [[wind]] direction, is beyond a [[mountain range]]; the elevated terrain impedes rainclouds from entering the dry zone. An [[acoustic shadow]] occurs when a direct sound has been blocked or diverted around a given area.
