Lambert's work in optics measured the relationship between?
Mass & Energy
Time & Gravity
Light Intensity & Direction
Electricity & Magnetism
Answer
Light intensity and direction are inversely related, meaning that as the intensity of light increases, the directionality decreases, and vice versa. This concept, known as Lambert's cosine law, was formulated by Johann Heinrich Lambert in the 18th century. It describes how light emitted or reflected from a surface is distributed over various angles.
