Estimate the solid angle from area A1, subtended by area A2 as shown, as area A1 moves from position i to position ii to position iii. That is, determine ?12,i , ?12,ii , and ?12,iii .


Assume that the area A1 is small enough compared to area A2 that it can be treated as a point. When A1 is at position ii,
