AIIMS 2019 Physics Camera Optics MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

How can we change a camera from F/4 to F/5.6 ?

A

Increase the aperture to 2 time keeping the focal distance constant.

B

Increase the aperture to 2{\sqrt{2}} time keeping the focal distance constant.

C

Increase the aperture to 12\frac{1}{2} time keeping the focal distance constant.

D

Increase the aperture to 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} time keeping the focal distance constant.

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

For a camera with an F number of F/4, the relationship F=fD1F = \frac{f}{D_1} gives D1=f4D_1 = \frac{f}{4}. For the F/5.6 camera, D2=f5.6D_2 = \frac{f}{5.6}. The ratio D2D1=45.6\frac{D_2}{D_1} = \frac{4}{5.6} simplifies to D2=D1×45.6D_2 = D_1 \times \frac{4}{5.6}, which can be further reduced to D2=D1×11.412D_2 = D_1 \times \frac{1}{1.412} or D2=D12D_2 = \frac{D_1}{\sqrt{2}}, confirming that option D is correct. Other options are not applicable as they do not provide relevant information or calculations related to the F number and aperture diameter relationship.
