The distance x equal to 0.87 cm when the intensity of the light decreases by 9 times.
The intensity of light is given as power emitted by the light by unit area.
I = P/A
I = P/L²
I₁L₁² = I₂L₂²
L₂² = I₁L₁²/I₂
L₂² = (3 x 1.5²)/(9)
L₂² = 0.75
L₂ = 0.87 cm
Thus, the distance x equal to 0.87 cm when the intensity of the light decreases by 9 times.
