The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source.
\n" ); document.write( " If the intensity of illumination on a screen 5 ft from a light is 4 foot candles,
\n" ); document.write( "let k = constant, then I = \"k%2FD%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find K
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%2F5%5E2\" = 4
\n" ); document.write( "k = 25*4
\n" ); document.write( "k = 100
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the intensity on a screen 20ft from the light.
\n" ); document.write( "I = \"100%2F20%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "I = \"100%2F400\"
\n" ); document.write( "I = \"1%2F4\" foot candle
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
