The answer is E. Can somebody please help me answer this?

I get really confused by Cd, lux and lumen - sorry.
I found on the internet (wonderful thing!) that lux = Cd / distance squared, so that's why the answer's E.
Do you have notes to help explain Cd, lux and lumen?

Hi, thanks for your reply:smile:Can you please help me with this one too?

Unsharpness of X ray image cannot induce?
ans: beta rays, gamma rays

Not sure what they mean.


Here it is (the notes:

Not sure this makes sense as a question! "Unsharpness of X ray image cannot induce?"

Yes, i don't understand that either - I guess Ill just leave that one caused it is worded really badly. But thanks a lot for helping

it isn't letting me attach my notes for some reason:frown:
Sorry - there's lots of stuff about lumen and lux and solid angle and loads of confusing stuff, and it just confuses me! I hope you don't have to learn it all! I've done physics for many years and never got my head around it. There's always a chance a younger expert may post an explanation!

No worries at all! Thank you very much for your help!:smile:

The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So you take the initial brightness and divide by the square of the distance
