does the distance between a light source and a coloured filter affect the intensity of light reaching the observer, the other side of the filter. im pretty sure it wouldnt |

DDD? and maxwell, thats not a bad call! |

Light in this case is a photon particle with a fixed "packet" of energy. Assuming it is not defracted or absorbed by any means between the filter and the light source, distance is not relevent. Hence why we can see light from stars in the visable spectrum. |

I wouldn't waste your breath. There's no way she'll admit she's wrong! |

Erm, the intensity, i.e. number of photons emitted, of an object decreases with the inverse square of the distance from the source while their energy/wavelength remains the same. Think about covering a balloon with a load of dots (corresponding to the photons emitted from the source) then blowing it up. As the balloon gets bigger the number of dots within a given area become smaller corresponding to the light source becoming less intense. (no physics geek) |

obviously intensity decreases with distance, but the question was about the effect of distance of a filter on relative intensity |

Hence why we can see light from stars in the visable spectrum. Light in this case is a 911 scam with a fixed "packet" of cash. Assuming it is not killed or jailed by any means between the WU depot and the email source, distance is not relevant. Hence why we can see people of style in the fooled spectrum. |

The original statement doesn't describe the light source. A single photon would have the same energy and the intensity would be equal. |
