In what situations can the inverse square be applied?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that it can be applied to: Emission of radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, light) Force between two charges (Coloumbs law) What else? Is gravity another example?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

thats all LOL:)

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa gravity is another example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So they're all right?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Emission of radiation how do you say for this LOL:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inverse square law is applied to gravitational fields and electric fields.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ineverse square law can be applied to all the conservative fields present eg gravitational ,electric

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

you said only for two what others can you tell :) these are the two fundamental one the particle should be charged(we call coulmobs law and another the particle without charge( gravitational law)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

strong nuclear and weak nuclear fields which also exist in an atom are not conservative so they dont obey inverse square law
