Calculate the solid angle subtended by the periphery of an area of `1 cm^2` at a point situated symmetrically at a distance of 5 cm from the area.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that solid angle`Omega="Area"/("Distance")^(2)`
`=(1cm^(2))/((5 cm)^(2))=1/25=4xx10^(-2)"steradian"`
`" "(therefore "Area"=1 cm^(2),"distance"=5 cm)`
