What happens to the intensity of light from a bulb if the distance from the bulb is doubled? As a laser beam travels across the length of room, its intensity essentially remains constant. What geometrical characteristic of LASER beam is responsible for the constant intensity which is missing in the case of light from the bulb?

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
As the distance is doubled, the area of spherical region ( 4πr2 )
will become four times, so the intensity becomes one fourth the initial value but in case of laser it does not spread, so its intensity remain same.

According to definition of displacement current, we can write
B0 = 42.9 × 10-9
42.9 Ans
s? = -? + k? ∴ s? = (-? +k? )/√2
I = P/ (4πr²) . (i)
and I = (1/2)ε? E? ²c . (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
P/ (4πr²) = (1/2)ε? E? ²c
E? = √ (2P/ (4πε? r²c) ; E? = √ (9×10? ×2×15)/ (15×15×10? ×3×10? ) = 2×10? ³ V/m
