Is EVERYTHING an Inverse Square Law?
Inverse square laws show up everywhere from the brightness of electromagnetic waves (light) to the strength of gravitational and electric fields of force. Let's take a historical journey all the way from Kepler to Gauss to see why this is such an important concept. ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS What the HECK is Light?! • What the HECK is Light?!
