Inverse-square law:

The inverse-square law is a scientific principle stating that the observed intensity of a physical quantity decreases in proportion to the square of the distance from its source. This phenomenon arises due to the geometric spreading of radiation from a point source in three-dimensional space.
  • Intensity ∝ 1/distance²
  • Intensity₁ × 1/distance₁² = Intensity₂ × 1/distance₂²
