  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. Near and far field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

    By contrast, the near-field ' s E and B strengths decrease more rapidly with distance: The radiative field decreases by the inverse-distance squared, the reactive field by an inverse-cube law, resulting in a diminished power in the parts of the electric field by an inverse fourth-power and sixth-power, respectively. The rapid drop in power ...

  6. 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 ...

  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. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    Normalizes the characteristic impedance Z g of gravitational radiation in free space to 1 (normally expressed as ⁠ 4 π G / c ⁠). [note 2] Eliminates 4 π G from the Bekenstein–Hawking formula (for the entropy of a black hole in terms of its mass m BH and the area of its event horizon A BH) which is simplified to S BH = π A BH = (m BH) 2.
