This short Tassomai tutorial video explains the inverse square law, which governs the intensity of light in biology experiments

It will help you learn and revise content required for all major GCSE specifications including AQA Separate, AQA Trilogy, AQA Synergy, Edexcel Combined, Edexcel Separate, OCR 21st Century, OCR Gateway, WJEC Combined, WJEC Separate, IGCSE, CIE Coordinated and CIE Separate.

3 key facts to remember about the inverse square law

1- If you increase the distance of a light source, the same amount of light is now falling over a larger area, and it is less intense.

2- doubling the distance means quadrupling the area, so the intensity of light will be one quarter.

3- increasing the distance of light by a factor of N will increase the area by the square of N, and the intensity will be 1/N2
