Two light sources of identical strength are placed 8 m apart. An object is to be placed at a point P on a line ? parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on ? so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
