Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source, the form of the function is:

f(x) = k.x⁻²

Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.

Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :

$F=k(x/2)^{-2}=\frac{k}{(x/2)^2}= \frac{k}{x^2}. 4=f(x).4$

Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.

A bystander observes the musicians heading toward each other. When musician #1 is 100 m away, the intensity is 1.24 x 10-8 W/m^2

777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance 1, r = 100 m

Intensity, $I_1=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2$

If distance 2, r' = 25 m

We need to find the intensity and the intensity level at 25 meters. Intensity and a distance r is given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ .........(1)

Let I' is the intensity at r'. So,

$I'=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r'^2}$ ............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

$I'=\dfrac{Ir}{r'^2}$

$I'=\dfrac{1.24\times 10^{-8}\times 100}{25^2}$

$I'=1.98\times 10^{-9}\ W/m^2$

Intensity level is given by :

$dB=10\ log(\dfrac{I'}{I_o})$ , $I_o=10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

$dB=10\ log(\dfrac{1.98\times 10^{-9}}{10^{-12}})$

dB = 32.96 dB

Hence, this is the required solution.
