Dean Oconnor · Answer 1

option B is correct

factor is 0.0625

Explanation:

Given data

camera lens = 4X

to find out

find factor

solution

we know Inverse square law that is the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source i. e f

so we say intensity (I) ∝ 1 / f

so I1 / I2 = f2² / f1²

so I2 will be

I2 = f2² / f1² * I1

I2 = 1 / 4² * I1

I2 = 0.0625

so option B is correct

factor is 0.0625
