    The distance between a point source of light and a screen which is 60 cm is increased to 180 cm. The intensity on the screen as compared with the original intensity will be [CPMT 1888]

    A)            (1 / 9) times                          

    B)            (1 / 3) times

    C)            3 times                                   

    D)            9 times 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[I\propto \frac{1}{{{r}^{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{I}_{1}}}=\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}\]\[=\frac{{{60}^{2}}}{{{180}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{9}\]
