Light Intensity Distance
1. The problem states that light intensity $I$ is inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$, given by the formula:
$$I = \frac{1}{d^2}$$
2. We are given a specific intensity value $I = 0.06$ and asked to find the distance $d$.
3. Rearranging the formula to solve for $d$, we get:
$$d^2 = \frac{1}{I}$$
4. Substitute $I = 0.06$ into the equation:
$$d^2 = \frac{1}{0.06}$$
5. Calculate the right side:
$$d^2 = 16.6667$$
6. Take the square root of both sides to find $d$:
$$d = \sqrt{16.6667}$$
7. Calculate the square root:
$$d \approx 4.08$$
8. Therefore, the distance corresponding to the light intensity of 0.06 is approximately 4.08 units.
