Why does light get dimmer as you walk away from it?

As you move away from a light source, the amount of light that reaches your eyes decreases due to the spreading out of light waves. This phenomenon is known as the inverse square law, which states that the intensity of light diminishes inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. This means that the further you are from the light source, the less intense the light will appear.

Why can you see someone hit a ball before you hear the sound produced when you are a few hundred meters away?

Sound travels much slower than light. When someone hits a ball, the light waves carrying the visual information reach your eyes almost instantly, while the sound waves take longer to travel through the air to your ears. This delay causes you to see the action before you hear it when you are at a significant distance away.


Why are UV rays invisible?

UV rays are not visible to the human eye because their wavelengths are shorter than visible light. Our eyes are only able to detect light within a certain range of wavelengths, and UV light falls outside of this range. This is why we can't see UV rays, even though they can have harmful effects on our skin and eyes.
