B) 3. 53 lx


C) 23. 5 lx


D) 425 lx

Respuesta :

The illuminance on an object that is 1. 50 m away from a light source with a luminous flux of 665 lumens will be 23. 5 lx.

What is a light source?

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by a light source. The sun and microwaves are examples of daily light sources.

The given data in the problem is;

r is the distance from the light source=1. 50 m

P is the luminous flux = 665 lumens

E is the  illuminance

The illuminance is found as;

[tex]\rm E = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2} \\\\ \rm E = \frac{665}{4 \times 3.14 \times (1.5)^2} \\\\ \rm E =23.5\ lx[/tex]

The illuminance on an object that is 1. 50 m away from a light source with a luminous flux of 665 lumens will be 23. 5 lx.

Hence option C is correct.
