- AThe intensity decreases in proportion for the distance squared.
- BThe wavefront is parabolic.
- CThe intensity at the wavelength does not depend on the distance.
- DNone of these.
Explanation:
A point source produces a spherical wavefront that moves in all the directions from the point.
Whereas the intensity at the wavelength is dependent on the distance and it follows the inverse square law. So, the intensity decreases with an increase in the distance from the source.
