Detailed Solution

$We know for point source, I = \frac{P}{4 π r^{2}}$

At r = 1 m, $P = I \times 4 π r^{2} = 16 \times 10^{- 8} \times 4 π W$

At r = 2 m, $I_{1} = \frac{P}{4 π r^{2}} = \frac{16 \times 10^{- 8} \times 4 π}{4 π \times 4} = 4 \times 10^{- 8} W / m^{2}$

At r = 4 m, $I_{2} = \frac{P}{4 π r^{2}} = \frac{16 \times 10^{- 8} \times 4 π}{4 π \times 16} = 1 \times 10^{- 8} W / m^{2}$

Difference, $I_{1} - I_{2} = 3 \times 10^{- 8} W / m^{2}$
