Inverse square law: \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1}}= (\frac{d{2} }{d_{1}})^2
where 
I_{1} is the intensity at distance 1
I_{2} is the intensity at distance 2
d_{1} is distance 1
d_{2} is distance 2

The inverse squared law state that intensity decreases in inverse proportion to the distance squared. So if light obeyed that rule, it will decreases its intensity as the square of the distance increases.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: true.

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)
