    The exposure time of a camera lens at \[f/2.8\] setting is 1/200 s. The correct exposure time at \[f/5.6\] setting is:]

    A)  0.02 s

    B)  0.04 s

    C)  0.20 s       

    D)  0.40s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The exposure time of camera lens is given by Time of exposure \[\propto \frac{1}{{{(Aperture)}^{2}}}\] Also, \[f\]-numbers \[=\frac{Focal\text{ }length\text{ (}f)}{Aperture\text{ (}A)}\] or            Aperture  \[=\frac{Focal\text{ }length\text{ (}f)}{f-number}\] Therefore, \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\] Given,   \[{{T}_{1}}=\frac{1}{200},{{A}_{1}}=\frac{f}{2.8},{{A}_{2}}=\frac{f}{5.6}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1/200}{{{T}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{f/5.6}{f/2.8} \right)}^{2}}\] or            \[\frac{1}{200{{T}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{2.8}{5.6} \right)}^{2}}\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}={{\left( \frac{5.6}{2.8} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{200}\]                 \[=0.02\,s\] Note: Smaller the f-number larger will be the aperture and lesser will be the time of exposure and faster will be the camera. This is why movie cameras have very low /-numbers such as f/1.5.
