The Standard Electrical Dictionary

1. law of inverse squares
When force is exercised through space from a point, its intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance. Thus the intensity of light radiated by a luminous point at twice a given distance therefrom is of one-fourth the intensity it had at the distance in question. Gravitation, electric and magnetic attraction and repulsion and other radiant forces are subject to the same law.
