\n" ); document.write( "If the illumination of a book 9m from a lamp is 150 lumens/m^2 find the illumination of the book 3m closer to the lamp...
\n" ); document.write( "I got 225 lm/m^2?????????????????????
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's an inverse square relationship, common in nature.
\n" ); document.write( "i = k/d^2 (illumination = a constant/the distance squared)
\n" ); document.write( "150 = k/9^2
\n" ); document.write( "k = 150*81 = 12150
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "@ 6 meters:
\n" ); document.write( "i = 12150/6^2 = 12150/36
\n" ); document.write( "i = 337.5 lm/m^2
\n" ); document.write( "
