    A satisfactory photographic print is obtained a distance of 2m from a 60 cd lamp when the exposure time is 10 s. The time of exposure  required for the same quality print at a distance  4 m from a 120 cd lamp is

    A)  5s                                          

    B)  10s

    C)  20s                                       

    D)  25s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Amount of light needed for photographic print                 \[E\times t=\frac{I}{{{r}^{2}}}\times t\] As die quality of photographic print is same hence                 \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{r}_{1}}^{2}}\times {{t}_{1}}=\frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{r}_{2}}^{2}}\times {{t}_{2}}\] Given,   \[{{I}_{1}}=60\,cd\],        \[{{r}_{1}}=2\,m\],                 \[{{t}_{1}}=10\,\,s\],    \[{{I}_{2}}=120\,cd\],    \[{{r}_{2}}=4\,m\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{60}{{{2}^{2}}}\times 10=\frac{120}{{{4}^{2}}}\times {{t}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[150=\frac{15}{2}\times {{t}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{t}_{2}}=20\,s\]
