Suppose that you look into the photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance between the photometer to lamp 1 is 400 mm, the distance between the photometer to lamp 2 is 200 mm, and the intensity of lamp 2 is known to be 15 candelas, what is the intensity of lamp 1?

a. 75 candelas B. 80 candelas C. 45 candelas D. 60 candelas

This is definitely the Brainliest Answer and is definitely the correct Answer: D .60 Candelas

The answer is: D. 60 candelas.

s₁ = 400 mm; distance between the photometer to lamp 1.

s₂ = 200 mm; the distance between the photometer to lamp 2.

I₂ = 15 cd; the intensity of lamp 2.

I₁ = I₁ · (s₁² ÷ s₂²).

I₁ = 15 cd · (160000 mm² ÷ 40000 mm²).

I₁ = 60 cd; the intensity of lamp 1.

The candela (symbol: cd) is the base unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Units (SI).
