Homework Answers
Answer #1
1)The f-number(f/stop) of an optical system is the ratio of the system's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed. It is always represented as f/number.
f/number =Focal Length of the Telescope/ Objective(Aperture) Diameter
The answer for f/number is f/11.875
2) Using the same formula from above
Aperture Diameter = Focal Length of the Camera Lens / (f/number) Note- f/number is a single term
Therefore the Aperture Diameter is 1.333 mm.
We should know that objective diameter and the aperture diameter are the one and same things

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.
