Question 40

A point light source emits E.M. waves in free space. A detector, placed at a distance of $$L$$ m, measures the intensity as $$I_0$$. The detector is now shifted to another location on the same spherical surface ensuring the angle between original location and new location as 45$$^\circ$$. The measured intensity at new location will be _______.

$$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$$

The detector is moved to a new location on the same spherical surface. Therefore, the new distance from the source is still exactly $$L$$.

Since the distance $$L$$ has not changed, the intensity remains exactly the same.
