A point light source emits E.M. waves in free space. A detector, placed at a distance of L m , measures the intensity as \({I}_{0}\). The detector is now shifted to another location on the same spherical surface ensuring the angle between original location and new location as \(45^\circ\). The measured intensity at new location will be ____.
