The intensity of a light source at a distance is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Two light sources, one five times as strong as the other, are 9 m apart. At what point on the line segment joining the sources is the intensity the weakest? Write an equation representing the intensity, I, at a distance, x, from the weaker lightbulb, and with k as the...
The illumination of an object by a light source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. If two light sources, one four times as strong as the other, are placed 11 ft apart, how far away from the stronger light source should an object be placed on the line between the two sources so as to receive the least illumination?
12) The illumination, I, produced by a light source varies inversely as the square of the distance, D from the light source. Suppose the illumination, I, was 88 footcandles when the distance, D, from the light source was 5 feet. Find the illumination, I, produced when the distance, D, is 4 feet from the same source. Round answer to the nearest tenth of a footcandle. 12) The illumination, I, produced by a light source varies inversely as the square of...
The illumination of an object by a light source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. If two light sources, one three times as strong as the other, are placed 10 ft apart, how far away from the stronger light source should an object be placed on the line between the two sources so as to receive the least illumination? (Round your answer to two decimal...
17. (3 pts) The gravitational force between two asteroids is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. When the two asteroids are 25 million meters apart (2.5 10), the force of gravity is 300 N. Find an equation F(d) relating the gravitational force between the two asteroids as a function of the distance d between them.
Problem 3: Intensity from a distant light source (25 points) Consider an isotropic light source that emits EM radiation with wavelength A and power Po. (Isotropic- uniformly in all directions). In addition, consider a detector with area a, facing the source which is a long distance R away. (a) Derive a formula for the amplitude of the electric field at the detector (b) Derive a formula for the number of photons per unit time that strike the detector. What is...
1.) If light spreads out in all directions, as it does from a point source, the intensity at a certain distance from the source depends on the area over which the light is spread Light Light source Sphere a.) For a sphere of radius r, what is the equation for the surface area A? b.) Intensity is calculated by taking the power output of the light source divided by the area over which the light is spread: Where I is...
do 2. A photographer uses a light meter to measure the intensity of light from a flash bulb. The intensity for the flash bulb, 1, in lux, is a function of the distance from the light, d, in metres, and can be represented by Id) 10 .d > 0 a) Determine the following, to two decimal places. i) the average rate of change in the intensity of light for the interval 1 <d <3 ii) the approximate instantaneous rate of...
astronomy Question 1 (1 point) Which of the following is closest to the light flux coming from a star at a distance of 20 parsecs and having the same luminosity as the Sun? X 10-11 Watts per square meter 2 X 10 10 Watts per square meter 7 X 10-10 Watts per square meter 3 X 10 Watts per square meter 1 X 10-8 Watts per square meter
This question uses the inverse-square law, which states that the light intensity experienced at a distance x from a light source is proportional to the luminosity of the source times x-2. It is the dead of night in Gormenghast Castle, and Steerpike, on the run, is trying to hide in a long, narrow corridor that is dimly lit by two lights, one at each end. (a) Steerpike knows that his best chance of hiding is to be in the spot...
