Question

Write a Python program that calculates the brightness of a star, given its distance, from the observer and luminosity.

It should contain the following functions:

  • inverse_square(d)

    This function returns an inverse square law value of a given distance d. The formula for the inverse square law is val=1/(4πd^2)

    Tip: The math module has the value of π.

  • brightness(d, L)

    A function brightness(d, L) that returns the brightness of a star at a given distance d and luminosity L. The formula for brightness is b=L∗1/(4πd^2)

    You must call your inverse_square(d) function as part of this function’s operation.

  • main()

    Write a main() asks the user for the distance, in meters, and luminosity of that star, in watts, and prints the calculated brightness, in units of Watts/m^2.
