Question: 1 / 400

What type of light emits in a cone and spreads out as it gets farther from the source?

Point Light

Area Light

Directional Light

Spot Light

A Spot Light is designed to emit light in a specific cone shape, which makes it ideal for illuminating particular areas in a scene with a focused beam. This type of light has a configurable cone angle and falls off as the distance from the light source increases, creating a gradient effect that simulates how real-world lights behave.

In contrast, a Point Light emits light in all directions equally from a single point, creating a spherical area of effect without a focused beam. Area Lights, on the other hand, simulate light coming from a surface rather than a specific point, and provide more diffuse lighting over a larger area. Directional Lights mimic sunlight by casting parallel rays from a distant source, affecting large volumes but lacking the cone-shaped focus of a Spot Light.

Thus, the unique ability of the Spot Light to create a targeted illumination that spreads outward with distance clearly defines it in this context.
