Answer :
The amount of lighting on a surface drops to (1/4) of the initial illumination when the distance between a light source and the surface it falls on is doubled.
What is illumination?
The amount of light or luminous flux that falls on a surface is known as illumination. It is expressed as lux or lumens per square meter.
The square of the distance has an inverse relationship with the light intensity;
[tex]\rm I = \frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]
Where,
I is the light intensity
r is the distance
Let r is the distance and I is the sound intensity for case 2;
r' = 2r
[tex]\rm I' = \frac{1}{(2r)^2} \\\\ I' = \frac{1}{4r^2} \\\\ I' = \frac{I}{4}[/tex]
When we double the distance between a source of light and the surface on which it falls, the amount of illumination on the surface decreases to(1/2) of the original illumination.
Hence the value of the fraction is 1/4.
