प्रश्न
An electric lamp and a candle produce equal illuminance at a photometer screen when they are placed at 80 cm and 20 cm from the screen respectively. The lamp is now covered with a thin paper which transmits 49% of the luminous flux. By what distance should the lamp be moved to balance the intensities at the screen again?

उत्तर
Let I1 be the intensity when placed at a distance 80 cm and I2 be the intensity when placed at a distance 20 cm apart from the screen.
Now,
\[\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \left( \frac{80}{20} \right)^2 = 16\]
According to the question, let the new distance between the lamp and the screen be xsuch that even after covering the lamp with a thin paper the intensities at the screen is balanced.
So,
\[\frac{0 . 49 I_1}{I_2} = \left( \frac{x}{20} \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 0 . 49 \times 16 \times 400 = x^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 56 cm\]
Thus, the lamp has to be moved by 80 cm - 56 cm = 24 cm.
