    S is a source. Intensity of light received at Q is P. The intensity of light received at \[{{Q}_{1}}\] as shown in figure is:

    A)  0.33 P                                  

    B)  0.44 P                  

    C)  0.25 P                  

    D)         0.5 P

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The intensity I is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Hence intensity\[I\]at\[Q\] \[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{P}{{{(d)}^{2}}}=\frac{P}{{{(2)}^{2}}}=\frac{P}{4}\] Intensity\[I\]at \[{{Q}_{1}},\] \[{{I}_{2}}=\frac{P}{{{(3)}^{2}}}=\frac{P}{9}\] So            \[\frac{\text{Intensity}\,\text{at}\,Q\,({{I}_{1}})}{\text{Intensity}\,\text{at}\,{{Q}_{1}}({{I}_{2}})}=\frac{9}{4}\] Therefore, intensity at \[{{Q}_{1}}=\frac{4}{9}\] intensity at\[Q\].
