MCQ
Light from a point source falls on a small area placed perpendicular to the incident light. If the area is rotated about the incident light by an angle of 60 , by what fraction will the illuminance change
  • A
    It will be doubled
  • B
    It will be halved
  • It will not change
  • D
    It will become one-fourth

Answer

Correct option: C.
It will not change
Rotation of area about incident light doesn't change the inclination of the light ray on the area.
