Inverse Square Law

 A level #Physics An easy way to understand the inverse square law. Get a spray can 10cm away spray for 1 sec, move 20cm away spray 1 sec and repeat at 40 and 80cm. The circle gets larger - same amount of paint, - measure the area. Pi radius squared. So as the volume is the same but the circle is larger we can work out the ration of the areas as the distance doubles. #iteachphysics
