For this, we really need to properly understand that the relationship between the light intensity and the distance is.
At the most basic level, the farther the light source from the sensor, the lower the reading. The closer the light source, the higher. This is the "common sense part".
Then the math part: The light intensity measure is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. What does this mean? The any increase or decrease in distance will an effect equivalent to the inversed-square of the distance change.
For instance, a decrease in the distance from 6 to 3, while being a decrease by 1/2, cutting it into two, will NOT increase the intensity (inversely speaking) by 2 times, but it will be 2^2 = 4 times. Thus, 8*4 = 32 will depict the units for a distance of metres.
Now, upon checking all the options, we can establish the below relationships:
Distance 2 | 72 Intensity
Distance 4 | 18 Intensity
Distance 12 | 2 IntensityAnything further than this will just take the intensity to exponentially lower numbers, so we can close this by marking
Distance 12 / 2 Intensity.Quote:
