A wildlife photographer with a 350 mm focal-length telephoto lens on his camera, is taking a picture of a hippopotamus that is 1.6 m tall, and 180 m away. Suddenly, the hippo starts charging straight toward the photographer at speed 4 m/s. Please show all your steps for the following questions.

a) What is the speed, in mm/s of the image of the hippopotamus?

b) What is the image distance, magnification, and orientation of the image, at the instant the hippopotamus is at a distance of 100 m from the lens?

[Hint: use the mirror equation and the magnification equation to answer this question].

A lens of focal length 45 mm is mounted on a 35-mm camera. The lens aperture is set at f/2.0 and the shutter speed set at 1/2000 s. The photographer wants to keep the same exposure (amount of light), but wants to change the f-number to f/8.0 for greater depth of field. What should be the new shutter speed to maintain the same exposure? Please show steps so I can understand the problem.
