If light intensity obeyed an inverse square law you would expect to find the intensity of light to decrease as the square of the

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 are advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker compared to other meanings of cookings?
drek231 [11]

The advantage of using a solar cooker is that it is Eco-friendly and the disadvantage is that it can be used only under certain conditions.

A 120 W lightbulb and a 90 W lightbulb each operate at a voltage of 120 V. Part A Which bulb carries more current? Which bulb ca
uysha [10]

Answer:

120 W lightbulb

Explanation:

Let the two lightbulb be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Power A = 120W

Power B = 90W

Voltage = 120V

To find the current flowing through each lightbulb;

a. For lightbulb A

Power = current * voltage

120 = current * 120

Current = 120/120

Current = 1 Ampere.

b. For lightbulb B

Current = power/voltage

Current = 90/120

Current = 0.75 Amperes

Therefore, the lightbulb that carries more current is A with 1 Ampere.
