I=(P)/(4pi r^(2)) At a large distance ...

`I=(P)/(4pi r^(2))`
At a large distance r from a radio antenna, the intensity of the radio signal I is related to the power of the signal P by the formula above.
For the same signal emitted by a radio antenna, Observer A measures its intensity to be 16 times the intensity measured by Observer B. The distance of Observer A from the radio antenna is what fraction of the distance of Observer B from the radio antenna?

A

`(1)/(4)`

B

`(1)/(16)`

C

`(1)/(64)`

D

`(1)/(256)`

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we start with the formula for intensity: \[ I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2} \] where \(I\) is the intensity, \(P\) is the power of the signal, and \(r\) is the distance from the antenna. ...
