The intensity I of light from a light bulb varies inversely as the square of the distance d from the light bulb. Suppose I is 250 250 ​w/m squared 2 when the distance is 3 3 m. How much farther would it be to a point where the intensity is 40 40 ​w/m squared 2​? It would be nothing meters farther.

Answer:

4.5 m

Explanation:

I = k/d²

k = I × d²

250 × 3² = 40 × d²

d = 7.5 m

7.5 - 3 = 4.5m
