Linton's Law (Physics)
Linton's Law, often referenced in physics, describes how the intensity of light or radiation decreases as it travels through a medium. Specifically, it states that the amount of light absorbed is proportional to the thickness of the medium and the concentration of absorbing substances present. In simpler terms, the more obstacles (like fog or colored liquid) light encounters, the less light reaches the other side. This principle helps us understand phenomena such as why distant objects look fainter and is important in fields like photography and environmental science, where clarity and visibility are affected by various materials.
