the intensity I of illumination from a light source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance d from the source.
\n" ); document.write( "make an equation from this information given
\n" ); document.write( "I = \"k%2Fd%5E2\" where
\n" ); document.write( " I=illumination in candelas;
\n" ); document.write( " d=distance from light source,
\n" ); document.write( " k=constant
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose the intensity is 320 candela at a distance of 10 feet from a light source.
\n" ); document.write( "Find k with these values
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%2F10%5E2\" = 320
\n" ); document.write( "k = 320 * 100
\n" ); document.write( "k = 32000
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a. What is the intensity at 2 feet from the​ source?
\n" ); document.write( "I = \"32000%2F2%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "I = 8000 candelas
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b. How far away from the source will the intensity be 400 ​candela?
\n" ); document.write( "400 = \"32000%2Fd%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "400d^2 = 32000
\n" ); document.write( "d^2 = \"32000%2F400\"
\n" ); document.write( "d^2 = 80
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%2880%29\"
