    To prepare a print the time taken is 5 sec due to lamp of 60 watt at 0.25 m distance. If the distance is increased to 40 cm then what is the time taken to prepare the similar print  [CPMT 1982]

    A)            3.1 sec                                     

    B)            1 sec

    C)            12.8 sec                                  

    D)            16 sec

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       To develop a print a fix amount of energy is required. Total light energy incident on photo print                    \[I\times A\,t=\frac{L}{{{r}^{2}}}A\,t\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{L}_{1}}}{r_{1}^{2}}{{A}_{1}}{{t}_{1}}=\frac{{{L}_{2}}}{r_{2}^{2}}{{A}_{2}}{{t}_{2}}\]                    \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{t}_{1}}}{r_{1}^{2}}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{r_{2}^{2}}\]  (\[\because \ {{L}_{1}}={{L}_{2}}\] and \[{{A}_{1}}={{A}_{2}}\])            \[\Rightarrow {{t}_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}.{{t}_{1}}\]\[=\left( \frac{0.40}{0.25} \right)\ 2\times 5\]= 12.8 sec.
