According to the inverse square law of light, how will the apparent brightness of an object change if its distance to us doubles?
Its apparent brightness will decrease by a factor of 4.
Its apparent brightness will increase by a factor of 2.
Its apparent brightness will remain the same.
Its apparent brightness will decrease by a factor of 2.
Its apparent brightness will increase by a factor of 4.
CHOOSE ONE
Inverse square law of light states that an objects apparent brightness depends on its actual luminosity and the inverse square of its distance from the observer.
Apparent brightness is inversely proportional to square of distance so if the distance is then square of double distance will be 4
So if the distance increases then the apparent brightness will decrease by factor 4 because it is inversely proportional.
So option A is the correct statement.

Problem 22.52-Copy Part A ReviewI Constants Periodic Table Using the inverse square law for light from Mathematical Insight 15.1 in the textbook, determine the apparent brightness of the Sun in our sky. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. According to Olbers' paradox, the entire sky would be as bright as the surface of a typical star if the universe were infinite in space, unchanging in time, and the same everywhere. However, conditions would not...
Experiment 2: Inverse Square Law The inverse square law is a concept that comes up in several areas of physics. This experiment does not demonstrate how gravity "works,” but it aims to give you a better picture of how the force of gravity diminishes greatly as distance increases. In Figure 6, gravity is represented by the amount of light spread out over an area, A. Figure 6: Inverse square law. "A" represents the original area at distance, d. Note the...

This question uses the inverse-square law, which states that the light intensity experienced at a distance x from a light source is proportional to the luminosity of the source times x-2. It is the dead of night in Gormenghast Castle, and Steerpike, on the run, is trying to hide in a long, narrow corridor that is dimly lit by two lights, one at each end. (a) Steerpike knows that his best chance of hiding is to be in the spot...
2 A. Rank the bulbs according to brightness B. How will the brightness of bulbs 1 and 3 change if we unscrew bulb 4? C. Starting from the original circuit, how will the brightness of bulbs 2,5, and 6 change if we add a new bulb by connecting it between points D and E?
pls help hurry pupp! If a galaxy moves away from us 4 times its original distance, how would its redshift change? It would remain the same It would increase by a factor of 1/2 It would increase by a factor of 2 It would increase by a factor of ¼ It would increase by a factor of 4 A star that is 100 light years away from us has a luminosity of 1 L_Sun. What would its luminosity be if...
Due to the inverse square law, the image at the margin of the x-ray film will be slightly darker than that in the middle. Suppose a chest x-ray projection system has a perfect point source, and the source-detector distance is 2 meters. If we require that the intensity variation across the film (when no object is imaged) must be less than 5%, calculate the largest size of the film that we can use. Suppose a square film
Newton’s Law of Cooling states that the temperature of an object changes in time according to the equation dT =k(E−T)dt where T(t) is the temperature of the object, E is the temperature of the environment surrounding the object and k is a constant that is determined by the physical properties of the object. The value k can be expressed as k = hA , ρV cp where h is the heat-transfer coefficient (a measure of how quickly heat escapes the...
