Inverse Square Law of Light states that light intensity falls off rapidly with distance from its source. T<span>he intensity varies with the square of the flash-to-subject distance.
 intensity at distance 1/intensity at distance 2=distance2^2/distance1^2
In our case, distance1=10m and distance2=20m, 20^2/10^2= 400/100=4, which means that t</span>he intensity of the wave<span> has increased by a factor of four.
Answer:D</span>

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?
morpeh [17]
The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections
