Example 1:

> **先生 に 叱られた**

Example 2:

> **先生 から 叱られた**

Do these sentences imply the same meaning or no ?

_**i.e I was scolded by my teacher**_

question
grammar particle-に particle-から
What is the difference in nuance by using から and between に with the passive verb?
Your sentences mean the same thing specifically in the case of 叱れる, but に and
から are not always interchangeable in passive-form sentences. The default
particle to use in passive constructions is に - it is used to mark the agent
from which something is being done. There are times when you can use から
instead, such in cases where abstract, non-physical actions are involved. That
is why both 先生に叱られた and 先生から叱られた are possible. I don't think there is any
difference in nuance between the two. から is usually only used instead of に in
sentences where there are two instances of に since that can make a sentence
somewhat confusing. There are some examples of that in the first link below.

answer
I think there is a delicate difference. For me, から have a nuance that one
keeps distance from the teacher.
