Axis Exam ANVE Topic 5 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Axis's ANVE exam

Question #: 97
Topic #: 5

If an object is placed 1 m (3 ft) away from a light source and the lux level is 3200 lux, what is the lux level at a distance of 8 m (24 ft)?

A50 lux

B10 lux

C400 lux

D200 lux

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

If an object is placed 1 meter (3 feet) away from a light source with a lux level of 3200 lux, the lux level decreases according to the inverse square law of light. At a distance of 8 meters (24 feet), the lux level can be calculated as:

NewLuxLevel=3200lux(8/1)2=3200lux64=50luxtext{New Lux Level} = frac{3200 text{ lux}}{(8/1)^2} = frac{3200 text{ lux}}{64} = 50 text{ lux}NewLuxLevel=(8/1)23200lux=643200lux=50lux

Thus, at 8 meters, the light intensity drops significantly to 50 lux.

Wait, what? I thought this was supposed to be a lighting question, not a math problem. Ugh, I guess I'll just have to guess. I'll go with B) 10 lux, because why not?

Yeah, it's a simple calculation. C) 400 lux is the lux level at a distance of 8 m.

So, the lux level at 8 m would be lower than 3200 lux. I think the answer is B) 10 lux.

I agree with Dianne. The lux level will decrease because the light spreads out.

I think the lux level will decrease as the distance increases.

Hmm, I remember learning about the inverse square law in physics. Let's see, if the distance increases by a factor of 8, the intensity should decrease by a factor of 64. So the answer must be C) 400 lux.
