Get a direct answer of what???
Answer:
Explanation:
Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source
I ∝ 1 /r² where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .
I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²
If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )
I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²
= 16 r₁² / r₁²
I₁ / I₂ = 16
I₂ = I₁ / 16
So intensity will become 16 times less bright .
"16 times " is the answer .
To answer, evaluate the power of 10 in the given choices. If it is positve, move the decimal n places to the right. If it is negative, move the decimal n corresponding places to the left. From all the choices given, only the choices D, E, and F will give us the correct answer.
