Steady speed of river = 0.480 m/s

Swimming speed of student in still water = 1.40 m/s  

When the student is swimming upstream the  velocity he is going up = 1.40-0.48= 0.92 m/s

When the student is swimming downstream the  velocity he is going down = 1.40+0.48= 1.88 m/s

Time taken to travel upstream = \frac{1000}{0.92} =1087 seconds = 18.12 minutes

Time taken to travel downstream = \frac{1000}{1.88} =592 seconds = 8.87 minutes

Total time taken = 18.12+8.87 = 26.99 minutes

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>
