Algebra.Com's Answer #537466 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the amount of light (measured in foot-candles) produced by a light source varies inverse;y as the square of the distance from the source. If the illumination produced 1 m from a light source is 768 foot-candles, find the illumination produced 6 m from the same source. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "L = k/d^2 \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\":: \n" ); document.write( "768 = k/1^2 \n" ); document.write( "k = 768 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "L = 768/d^2 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Ans: L = 768/6^2 = 21 1/3 ft-candles \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
