what is inverse square law



what is inverse square law ..

Answer / aman mishra

The inverse-square law generally applies when some force, energy, or other conserved quantity is radiated outward radially from a point source. Since the surface area of a sphere (which is 4πr 2) is proportional to the square of the radius, as the emitted radiation gets farther from the source, it must spread out over an area that is proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Hence, the radiation passing through any unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point source.
