Question

According to the Inverse-Square Law, if the distance to a lightbulb increases by a factor of 5, the bulb’s apparent brightness (flux)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

According to inverse- square law 

F=L4πr2

Where F = Flux (bulb’s apparent brightness), L is the luminosity, and r is the distance between source and the point where we want to find the flux

So when r is increases by 5 times, then flux will be

F'=L4πr'2F'=L4π5r2F'=125L4πr2F'=125F
