Question
Intensity is a measure of incoming power per unit area.
If I is the intensity of the incoming energy within an
illuminated region of area, A, then the total received power is
given by:
P = JA
where I depends on the power of the radiating source, how it
spreads and how far away it is from the illuminated region.

Suppose that a flashlight beam spreads uniformly over a circular region as shown in the figure above.
(a) If P bulb is the radiated power, and r is the radius of the circle,
which expression gives the intensity, , within the illuminated region?
