What effect does only distance travelled have on light?

Description : What effect does only distance travelled have on light?

Last Answer : Light, like any other form of electromagnetic radiation, decreases in intensity the further it travels from the point of emission. The mathematical relation that describes this is an inverse square- ... laser) does not decay over distance according to the inverse-square relation, but some other.

Description : Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with a uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds -Physics 9th

Last Answer : Uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds = = (5u + 1/2 * a * 5^2) - (4u + 1/2 * a * 4^2) = 5u + 1/2 *a * 25 - 4u + 1/2 * a * 16 = u + 1/2 * a * (25-16) = u + 1/2 * a * 9 = u + 9/2 * a If it starts from rest then the displacement will be 9/2a. hope this helps!
