Shadow Rays

Shadow Ray is a computational ray in rendering algorithms that originates from an intersection point of a primary ray with a surface and travels toward a light source to determine visibility, thereby distinguishing itself from other rays by specifically evaluating occlusion for shadow computation in ray tracing.
