  2. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    The divergence of a vector field which is the resultant of radial inverse-square law fields with respect to one or more sources is proportional to the strength of the local sources, and hence zero outside sources. Newton's law of universal gravitation follows an inverse-square law, as do the effects of electric, light, sound, and radiation ...

  3. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    Free-space loss increases with the square of distance between the antennas because the radio waves spread out by the inverse square law and decreases with the square of the wavelength of the radio waves. The FSPL is rarely used standalone, but rather as a part of the Friis transmission formula, which includes the gain of antennas. [3]

  4. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

    Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

  5. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    In electromagnetic radiation (such as microwaves from an antenna, shown here) the term "radiation" applies only to the parts of the electromagnetic field that radiate into infinite space and decrease in intensity by an inverse-square law of power so that the total radiation energy that crosses through an imaginary spherical surface is the same ...

  6. Near and far field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

    The near field refers to places nearby the antenna conductors, or inside any polarizable media surrounding it, where the generation and emission of electromagnetic waves can be interfered with while the field lines remain electrically attached to the antenna, hence absorption of radiation in the near field by adjacent conducting objects detectably affects the loading on the signal generator ...

  7. Intensity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics)

    This is an example of the inverse-square law. Applying the law of conservation of energy, if the net power emanating is constant, =, where P is the net power radiated; I is the intensity vector as a function of position; the magnitude | I | is the intensity as a function of position;

  8. Spectral radiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_radiance

    For propagation of light in a vacuum, the definition of specific (radiative) intensity implicitly allows for the inverse square law of radiative propagation. [12] [14] The concept of specific (radiative) intensity of a source at the point P 1 presumes that the destination detector at the point P 2 has optical devices (telescopic lenses and so forth) that can resolve the details of the source ...

  9. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Kepler published the first two laws in 1609 and the third law in 1619. They supplanted earlier models of the Solar System, such as those of Ptolemy and Copernicus. Kepler's laws apply only in the limited case of the two-body ...
