Question

If light intensity obeyed an inverse square law you would expect to find the intensity of light to decrease as the square of the distance increases

A) true
B) false

Answer 1

The answer to this is A. True. Following the inverse square law, the intensity of light will be spread over as distance increases, which results to the lowering of its intensity. As the distance decreases, the light intensity increases. This follows geometric considerations. Hope this helps.
