The illuminance of a surface varies inversely with the square of its distance from the light source. If the illuminance of a sur

Answer: b) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The illuminance of a surface varies inversely with the square of its distance from the light source.

i.e. for d distance and l luminance , we have

d^2\times l=k , where k is constant.       (1)

If  the illuminance of a surface is 120 lumens per square meter when its distance from a certain light source is 6 meters.

From (1), we have

\Rightarrow (6)^2\times 120=k\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=4320   (2)

For the distance (d) corresponds to the illuminance to 30 lumens per square meter , we have

d^2\times 30=k

Put value of k , we get

d^2\times 30=4320\\\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=\dfrac{4320}{30}=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ d= 12

Then , the number of meters should the distance of the surface from the source be increased= 12 meters- 6 meters = 6 meters.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=23 2x+3.7=23 2×1 + 3×7 = 23

3y= 23 2×+21= 23 2 + 21 = 23

23÷3 = 7 2x= 23-21

y=7 2x= 2

x= 1

5x+3y=17 5×4+3y=17

5x=17+3 20+3y=17

5×=20 20=17+3y

14÷5 = 4 20=20+y

x=4 y=20-20

y=0
