The illuminance of a small -2 area changes from 900 lumen m^-2 to 400 lumen m^-2 when it is shifted along its normal by 10 cm. Assuming that it is illuminated by a point source placed on the normal, find the distance between the source and the area in the original position.

In the figure shown, O is a point source of light and S is a screen placed at a distance L from the source. Intensity of light at point A on the screen due to the source is 81 I where I is some unit. Now a large mirror (M) is placed behind the source at a distance L from it. The mirror reflects 100% of the light energy incident on it. Calculate the inten- sity at point A. ,brgt
