An isotropoic point source of light is suspeneded h metre vericlaly above the centre of circular table of radius r metre.Then the ratio of illumenances at the centre to that at the edge of the table is

A

`1+(r^(2)/(h^(2)))`

B

`1+(h^(2)/(r^(2)))`

C

`{1+r^(2)/(h^(2))}^(3//2)`

D

`{1+r^(2)/(h^(2))}^(3//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

According to question the situation is shown in the figure below

`E_(1)=(I)/((LO)^(2))=(Icostheta)/(h^(2)+r^(2))`
From figure `cos theta = (h)/(sqrt(h^(2)+R^(2))^(3)/(2)=(h^(2)+r^(2))/(h^(3))^(3)/(2)`
Dividing Eq (i) by Eq(ii) we get
`(E_(1))/(e_(2))=(I//h^(2))/(Ih//H^(2)+R^(2))^(3)/(2)=(1+(r^(2)/(H^(2)))^(3)/(2)`
