Question
When the distance from a light source is doubled, the light intensity at that point will:Select one:a.Doubleb.Stay the samec.Reduce to one quarterd.Halve
Solution
The intensity of light follows the inverse square law. This law states that the intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. So, if the distance from the light source is doubled, the light intensity at that point will reduce to one quarter. Therefore, the correct answer is c. Reduce to one quarter.

In a street two lamp posts are 600 feet apart. The light intensity at a distance d from the first (stronger) lamp post is 1000/d 2 , the light intensity at distance d from the second (weaker) lamp post is 125/d 2 (in both cases the light source). The combined light intensity is the square of the distance to the light coming from both lamp posts.(i) If I(x) denotes the combined light intensity, then find the value of x so that I(x) is minimum.(ii) Find the darkest spot between the two lights.
