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( "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( "L = 768/d^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: L = 768/6^2 = 21 1/3 ft-candles
